The Free Application for Federal Students Aid (FASFA) form for college financial aid
is now open for the 2018-2019 school year. Applying is quick and easy. Here’s what
you’ll need to do:
- Apply for a FSA ID to electronically sign you FASFA. Have your parents apply for one
as well if you are a dependent student.
- Go to https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa to complete the online application.
- Make sure you have your 2016 income and tax information. THIS IS REQUIRED!
- Additional information needed includes your Social Security number, your parents’
Social Security numbers if you are a dependent student, your driver’s license number,
your Alien Registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen, records of your untaxed
income, and information on cash, savings and checking account balances.
- You will also need the University of Wyoming’s (UW) federal school code. Our code
is 003932.
Completing FASFA online takes only a few minutes and is completely free. You can access
the website by going to https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa or https://www.uwyo.edu/sfa/applying-for-financial-aid/index.html where you can learn a bit more about FASFA from UW.
