Tips for Completing the FAFSA

• Students and parents (if student is dependent) will be required to report income information from a prior tax year. For example, on the 2022-2023ÌýFAFSA, students (and parents, as appropriate) will report their 2020Ìýincome information.
• If given the option, it is important you use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing the financial portions of your FAFSA. Using this tool expedites the FAFSA process.ÌýLearn more aboutÌýlinking your taxes to FAFSA using the IRS's Data Retrieval Tool.
• The FAFSA must be signed by you and your parents (if you are a dependent student). In order to sign the FAFSA electronically, you must register for yourÌý.
• If you are a parent of aÌýdependent student, you will need your own FSA ID if you want to sign your student's FAFSA electronically. If you have more than one student attending college, you can use the same FSA ID to sign all applications.ÌýPlease note: Each FSA ID user must have a unique e-mail address. An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites.
• When completing the FAFSA, use ³Ô¹Ïtv’s Federal School Code: 041429.

If you're only interested in receiving theÌý, you can fill out a HOPE Scholarship application through theÌý. The GSFAPP is a one-time only application that does not have to be renewed each year.
