Financial Aid

Complete a FAFSA

 

 

Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the first step toward getting federal aid for college, career school, or graduate school.

To apply for federal student aid, you need to complete the FAFSA® or Free Application for Federal Student Aid every year.

We have provided several recommended videos created by the Department of Education that give a great overview of the FAFSA.

Beginning with the 2024-2025 FAFSA,  all contributors (parents and students) for the FAFSA will be prompted to provide approval and consent for their Federal Tax Information to imported using the Future Act Direct Data Exchange (FADDX). If the FADDX process fails when completing the FAFSA, you need to provide us with a copy of an IRS Tax Return Transcript, here is a link to the IRS that can help you:  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript.

Beware of Scams

Students and parents need to be aware of financial aid scams that take place throughout the year. A family should be extremely wary of any company that charges money in order to process a financial aid application for you. Remember that the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a FREE application. Neither the US Department of Education nor Tennessee Technological University works with any company or organization that would require a family to pay to apply for federal financial aid.
