Completing the FAFSA is an important step in paying for college. It’s used to determine eligibility for federal financial aid, including grants, work-study and student loans, and may also be used for other types of aid.
Not sure where to start? Kaitlyn Goslinga, senior assistant director of financial aid at University of the Pacific, walks students and parents through the 2027–28 FAFSA screen by screen, from logging in at StudentAid.gov to inviting a parent contributor and submitting the form.
