Steps to apply for financial aid
- Get a FSA ID and Password. A FSA ID and Password lets you apply, “sign” your online FAFSA, make corrections to your application information and more.
- Collect the documents, including income tax returns, W-2 forms, and other records of income to apply.
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible, preferably in October of the year prior to enrolling, in order to meet school and state aid deadlines. Fredonia’s school code is 002844.
- If you are a New York State resident, please complete and submit the TAP application.
