Becoming a Lancer

FAFSA got you freaking out? Not to fear. It's actually much easier than you think. The FAFSA or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is done completely online and gives you step by step help along the way.

First, grab your social security number, tax information from last year, and a parent or guardian's social security number. Next, go to studentaid.gov and create an FSA account. Then, choose the school year you are completing the form for and fill out the student demographic section using your own information. List up to 10 schools that you want your FAFSA information sent to. Don't forget Grace! Answer the dependency questions then fill out the parent or guardian demographic section.

After that, supply your financial information. The quickest way to do this is to use the IRD Data Retrieval Tool that automatically pulls up your tax information. Double check your information to make sure it's correct. Perfect! Add that fancy digital signature and voila, you've just completed your FAFSA!

Now hold on there. Did you know that there are still more things you can do to help cover the cost of tuition? Next, go to Grace's website to check out the scholarships they offer. We are giving away over $1 million dollars in scholarships this year. Go to grace.edu/financialaid to see the many prizes we offer and resources we provide.
