Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
The only way you can be considered for federal educational loan programs for nursing school is to complete the FAFSA. It is not possible to be certain of how much aid you are eligible to receive until you submit this document.
The FAFSA should be completed as early as possible after January 1st in the calendar year that you plan to begin school. The most expedient way to complete your FAFSA is via the Internet. Paper FAFSA forms are available, but are not recommended because it takes significantly longer to receive approval than completing this necessary documentation online.
To complete your FAFSA, you will need either your income taxes or your W-2 forms. If you work as independent contractor, you will need to provide copies of your 1099 income statements. It is recommended that you fill out your college financial aid applications immediately upon receipt of the income verification documentation.
If you meet the government definition of a dependent student, you will need income verification documentation for your parents as well as for yourself. In most cases, all unmarried students under the age of 24 are considered to be dependent students for financial aid purposes.
If you are considered an independent student and you are single, you will only need details about your income. If you are married, you will be required to submit information about your own earnings and those of your spouse.
