The Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID (or studentaid.gov login) is a username and password that is required to log in and access all Federal Student Aid websites, including the FAFSA. Serves as a legal signature when you submit your FAFSA. Go to studentaid.gov and click “create account” in the upper right hand corner. (do not use your BRK email)

👉 All those contributing to a FAFSA (parent/guardian) must create separate FSA IDs

🤷 Not sure who counts as a parent? Use the “Who is My Parent?” tool

• Gather the information needed to complete the FAFSA: You’ll need information on income, assets, and demographics. 📝This handy FAFSA checklist can help you organize everything you need.

• Begin the FAFSA, invite your parent as a contributor to the FAFSA. Enter your parent/guardian email, so they can complete their portion of the FAFSA.




• List the colleges, trade schools, that you applied to or are thinking of applying to. You can always log-in later and edit your ranking of schools.




• You and your parent/contributor will need to "sign" your FAFSA with your FSA IDs.
