The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed by students who wish to apply for Federal, State, and University need-based aid, and is the only application you need to complete to be considered for need-based aid at the 名媛直播. You must file a FAFSA every academic year to be considered for need-based financial aid.
This form is available online at .聽 It is available by October 1st each year.
UMF has a聽March 1 priority deadline for the FAFSA.聽This means that the completed FAFSA must be submitted to the Federal Processor by March 1.
Filing the FAFSA
Filing the Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) is the first and most important step in the financial aid process. Every student applying to UMF should file the FAFSA.
FSA ID
The FSA ID is the user name and password students will use to access all Federal Student Aid websites, including , which is where you go to file your FAFSA. It takes about 10 minutes to create an account and set up an FSA ID.
We strongly recommend getting FSA ID’s ahead of time. For dependent students, at least one parent will also need to create an account and set up an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA electronically. If your parents filed separate tax returns for the year requested, then both parents will need an FSA ID.聽 For Independent students, the spouse may also need an FSA ID if they filed separate tax returns.聽 To create and set up an FSA ID, go to Studentaid.gov and click on “Create Account.”
Keep track of your FSA ID information by writing down your user name and password and answers to your security questions, and keep it in a safe place. You will need this FSA ID going forward.
