Ready, Set, GO!

Before we get started, there are a couple of things that you will want to do first:

Create your FSA ID

An FSA ID is your account on the FAFSA website - you need to choose your username, password and security questions. This process takes about 15-20 minutes.

Keep your username and password in a safe place - you will use it every year!
