Students can apply for aid by filing one main form, the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA). The steps for filing are:

1. The FAFSA should be completed on the Internet. The web address to complete your FAFSA on the Web is www.fafsa.gov. You have two choices for signing the FAFSA on the Web, a certification/signature page can be printed and mailed to the processing center offices or ideally the assigned Department of Education PIN can be used to sign the application electronically. The Department of Education PIN may be requested on-line at www.pin.ed.gov. The Title IV School Code for JFK Muhlenberg Snyder Schools is 006421.
   
   Students without internet access may complete the paper version of the FAFSA. This form, complete with instructions, may be obtained from high schools and libraries. All sections that are applicable to the student’s status must be answered. Students should then mail their completed applications to the Central Processor in the envelope provided with the application.
   
   No funds under the control of the Schools will be awarded or distributed until the student’s file is complete. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for any assistance.
   
   
2. A signed copy of the student’s and/or parent’s I.R.S. 1040, 1040A or 1040 EZ (Federal Income Tax Return) for the prior year and/or an official statement from any agency describing non-taxable benefits received as itemized on the FAFSA may need to be submitted to the Director of Financial Aid as verification of income.
   
   
3. All information submitted on the FAFSA is subject to verification. The Financial Aid Office will be requesting documentation as directed by Federal guidelines. No financial aid award package will be completed unless all requested documentation is received.
