How to answer FAFSA® student college information questions

The FAFSA® asks which colleges should receive your information so they can determine your financial need and prepare financial aid offers. You can list up to 20 schools, then provide consent for IRS tax data and sign the form so your application can be processed.

What else should I know?

  • 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.
