How to answer FAFSA^® student college information questions

Why do they need this info?

• The FAFSA^® needs to know which schools you’re applying to so your financial info can be shared with them.
• Schools will use your FAFSA^® info to figure out your financial need and create your financial aid offer.

Can I skip these questions?

No

What else should I know?

• The order in which you list schools may affect your eligibility for state aid. Check StudentAid.gov/order for details. For federal aid, it doesn’t matter what order you list your selected schools.
• You can add or delete schools after you submit your FAFSA^®.
• There’s a 20 school code limit for the FAFSA^®. If you add a new school it will replace one of the schools previously listed.

How to answer these questions

• Search for each college by entering name, address, city, and state for each college OR just enter the Federal School Code.
• The Federal School Code can likely be found on the school’s financial aid website.
• You can have your FAFSA^® sent to a maximum of 20 schools.
