On December 5th from 5:00-6:30pm, join Clark Amadon from VSAC for a free Financial Aid Forms workshop at Harwood Union. At this informal workshop, he will assist you as you file your FAFSA and Vermont state grant applications.
Students and parents should sign up for a FSA ID at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm prior to the workshop. Students and parents will both need their own ID. The form takes about 10 minutes to complete and 1-3 days to verify and issue the ID from Federal Student Aid.
The following information is needed to complete the FAFSA and is needed for both students and parents.
Social Security Numbers
FSA IDs to sign FAFSA electronically
The names of the colleges that the student is applying to
2016 federal tax returns, including schedules, W-2s and K-1 form if applicable
(Note: You may be able to transfer your federal tax return information into your FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.)
Information on any types of income from 2016, even if it is not reported on a tax return or you did not file taxes
Current checking and savings account balances
Home value and debt (if applicable)
Farm value and debt (if applicable)
• Business value and debt (if applicable)
• Investment value (if applicable)
• Alien Registration Card (if not a U.S. citizen)
Students are also required to report income information from an earlier tax year. For example, on the 2018-19 FAFSA, students (and parents, as appropriate) must report their 2016 income information. These changes are intended to help students to receive earlier, more accurate financial aid awards and be able to make more timely final college choices.
Beginning with last year’s FAFSA, the U.S. Department of Education has offered an earlier filing option for students seeking financial aid. Students applying for financial aid for enrollment beginning after July 1, 2018, can file their FAFSA and Vermont Grant application as early as October 1.
