Seniors can apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) now to access their financial aid.
“This PIN number is a elective signature for FAFSA [Free Application for Federal Student Aid],” Diane Barrett, counselor’s secretary said. “[The deadline] depends on your selected school because if you wait later you won’t get as much money as you would if you would apply earlier.”
After seniors sign up for PINs, they will be able to review their answers on the processed FAFSA, sign loans, reapply for financial aid in the future and get information regarding federal loans and grants.
