During this workshop students will be able to complete the FAFSA or the Alternative Application with the help of an ISAC representative. Please have a StudentAid.gov account and income information.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA) and the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid (Alternative Application) are used to apply for financial aid, such as the Federal Pell Grant and/or the Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP).
Many colleges also use these forms to consider students for institutional money. Individuals should create a StudentAid.gov account prior to the workshop to be able to start the FAFSA. Students and parents use their StudentAid.gov account to provide approval for the transfer of tax and income information from the IRS to the FAFSA.
Please note that the StudentAid.gov account is not used with the Alternative Application. Individuals should have information regarding their income and asset information readily available.
