How to Create Your FSA ID

If you plan to submit the FAFSA to apply for college financial aid, you’ll need to create an FSA ID first, which allows you to begin the FAFSA process. And you need to create your FSA ID at least a few days before you start the FAFSA, so now’s a great time to check that step off your list. This webinar walks you through the process of creating an FSA ID, explains who needs to create one, and discusses other things to know before completing the FAFSA.
