The FAFSA is for US/Naturalized Citizens, Permanent Residents, or eligible non-citizens. 

Both the student and their parent (if applicable) are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to electronically sign the FAFSA.  The FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and federal student aid documents. To create an FSA ID, please visit the FSA ID Website.

 

Then submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
