5 Student Services Resources for Students and Parents in the College Shopping Process Compare schools using the College Score Card. ( Students can narrow down their school choices using individual preferences and the results will not only give you admissions requirements but financial aid resources including expected costs by family incomes. The Financial Aid Shopping Sheet (PDF) ( 6.pdf) is a consumer tool that participating institutions will use to notify students about their financial aid package. It is a standardized form that is designed to simplify the information that prospective students receive about costs and financial aid so that they can easily compare institutions and make informed decisions about where to attend school. Consider completing the FAFSA worksheet ( before filling out the online form. It will make the process much easier. More questions? Contact your student's counselor or better yet, call a local college or university's financial aid office. They welcome your questions now as it tends to make things easier for them down the road when potential problems may arise.

6 Both Parent and Student need an FSA ID. Getting an FSA ID You ll need an FSA ID, a username and password combination that allows you to sign your FAFSA electronically. Your FSA ID also can be used to sign loan contracts and to access certain information online. You can get your FSA ID as you fill out the FAFSA, but you also have the option to get it ahead of time. Find out how to get an FSA ID ( and what to do if you forgot your FSA ID.
