Financial Aid Completing the FAFSA I. Everyone should complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online. *The only people who should not apply are students who are undocumented. II. The FAFSA (Free Application for Financial Aid) form must be completed online. The FAFSA website is: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Beware websites that charge you to complete the application. You should complete the application for 2010-2011. III. In order to apply for FAFSA online, parents and students will both need PINs. This will serve as your online signature once you complete the application. The PIN website is: http://www.pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/pinindex.jsp IV. Worksheets to help you through the process are available here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fafsaws01bw.pdf V. As the funds for financial aid are finite, it is best to complete this application as soon as possible. Completing the CSS profile I. Many, not all, schools require that you also complete a CSS profile in addition to the FAFSA. CUNY and SUNY do not. You should complete the application for 2010-2011. II. Those schools that require the CSS profile are very strict about the deadlines for its submission. III. There is a $25 fee for the initial application and a $16 fee for each school report. Eligibility for fee waivers will be determined by the financial information entered in the application. IV. The CSS Profile website is: https://profileonline.collegeboard.com/prf/index.jsp V. A list of the schools that require the CSS profile are available here: https://profileonline.collegeboard.com/prf/PXRemotePartInstitutionServlet/PXRemotePartInstitutionServlet.srv NYS Higher Education Services Corporation Information on New York State's Financial Aid services is available at: www.hesc.com The money is out there!
