Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
To apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-studies and loans, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Steps to Complete the FAFSA
Your ID is your electronic signature for FAFSA on the web. If you are a dependent student (see below
to determine if you are), your parents also will need to apply for an ID to sign your FAFSA.
The Department of Education considers a student independent by the following criteria:
- You are at least 24 years old on the day you file your FAFSA
- You are married on the day you file your FAFSA
- You are a parent
- You are an Orphan or Ward of the Court (or were until age 18)
- You are a Veteran or currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces
- You were a foster child after the age of 13
- You are an emancipated child as determined by a court judge
If none of the above criteria apply to you, you're a dependent student, which means that your parents will also need to apply for an ID to sign your FAFSA.
A professional judgement may be granted by the school for special circumstances
Gather your most recent tax information (Federal 1040 and W-2 forms)
- If you are a dependent student, you will also need YOUR PARENT(S)' tax information (Federal 1040 and W-2 forms)
- If you are a married student on the day you complete your FAFSA, you also need your SPOUSE to provide their most recent tax information (Federal 1040 and W-2 forms)
Please note: If you are unable to locate your W-2(s), you can visit your local IRS building. If you are unable to locate your tax return(s), please visit www.irs.gov and complete a tax transcript request form. If you would prefer, an Eric Fisher Academy Financial Aid Representative can help you to complete the form at Eric Fisher Academy.
