For Class of 2010 high school students and their families, it is almost time to begin the financial aid process. While you cannot submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) until January 2010, you can begin the process now by requesting your PIN.
The PIN is a 4-digit number that is used along with your Social Security Number, your name, and your date of birth to identify you as having the right to access your personal information on Federal Student Aid web sites, such as the FAFSA on the Web.
PIN Request is the web page where BOTH the student AND one parent must request a PIN. This becomes your electronic signature when you submit the FAFSA. Request your PIN now before the craziness of the holiday season! Store it securely until time to submit your FAFSA beginning next month.
Keeping your PIN private is imperative because the code can be used to: • electronically sign your Federal Student Aid documents • access your personal records and • make binding legal obligations
Again, BOTH the student AND a parent must request a PIN. Note: You will use your PIN for the duration of your collegiate experience and beyond (repaying loans). The PIN stays the same.
