FAFSA Renewal

It is that time of the year again: time to file your FAFSA renewal. The Department of Education has now stopped sending out paper FAFSA renewal applications. If you want to renew your application for financial aid, you must do it online.

Most students who have never done the FAFSA online are accustomed to getting a paper renewal FAFSA every year. The government is trying to save some money by requiring students file all FAFSA's online.

You must have your Department of Education PIN to do your renewal application. If you do not have your PIN, you must do a federal PIN retrieval You can apply for your PIN at www.pin.ed.gov and you can file a renewal FAFSA at:

Renewal FAFSA site

If you have any questions about renewing, you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3242
