The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a crucial step in securing financial assistance for your education at Alexander Academy. Follow these steps to complete the FAFSA and maximize your eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs.
Before starting your FAFSA application, gather the following documents and information
Before you can fill out the FAFSA, you need to create an FSA ID. This serves as your electronic signature and allows you to access and sign your FAFSA electronically. Visit the Federal Student Aid website to create your FSA ID.
Visit fafsa.gov to start your FAFSA application. Begin a new application and follow the prompts to enter your personal information, including your name, address, date of birth, and your school’s information (use Alexander Academy’s school code).
Enter financial information from the documents you gathered in Step 1. Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (if eligible) to automatically transfer your IRS tax return information into your FAFSA form, which can simplify the process and reduce errors.
Review your FAFSA form carefully to ensure accuracy and completeness. Double-check all entered information, including names, addresses, and financial details. Make any necessary corrections before submitting your FAFSA.
After submitting your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) via email or postal mail. Review your SAR for accuracy and to confirm your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid.
Stay in contact with Alexander Academy’s financial aid office. They may request additional information or documentation to complete your financial aid package. Respond promptly to any requests to ensure timely processing of your aid.
Check your financial aid status regularly through your school’s financial aid portal or by contacting the financial aid office. Be proactive in ensuring all required steps are completed to receive your financial aid for the upcoming academic year.
