This session outlines the general financial aid process and provides insight on how financial aid works, how to apply for it, student eligibility, and how it can be used to help pay for college. It introduces the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid, along with summarizing state and federal aid programs among other topics.
Attendees will be given information on how to obtain an FSA ID, and ISAC staff will be available to answer individual questions and trouble shoot any technical issues. An FSA ID is required for an individual to start a FAFSA and to approve the transfer of income and tax information from the IRS to FAFSA. An FSA ID can be created by all students with a social security number.
