Guest Questionnaire
Step 1
Apply/Obtain FSA ID
You must apply for an FSA ID if you have not already done so. This is your electronic signature that you will need throughout the Federal Student Aid process.
If you are a dependent student, you and your parent must sign up for separate FSA IDs because the FAFSA will require both signatures. Federal guidelines will determine a student’s dependency status.
If you already have an FSA ID and have completed the 2019-2020 FAFSA but did not list our institution as a recipient:
Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov
Click on ‘Make Corrections to Processed FAFSA’
Add Barber Tech Academy school code – 042435
If you have an FSA ID but did not complete the 2019-2020 FAFSA, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and follow the directions to complete the application online.
For assistance, contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243)
Please keep your FSA ID and password secure and handy as you will need this information through the federal financial aid process.
Step 2
FILL OUT FAFSA
Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov
If you are starting a new FAFSA, click on ‘Start a New FAFSA’. If you have begun filling out the application, click on the ‘’Login” button for returning users.
Follow the directions throughout the application to ensure it is completed properly.
Some documents that will be needed for completion are:
Previous year tax returns, if filed
Parents’ previous year tax returns (if dependent student)
FSA ID and password, parent’s FSA ID and password (for dependent student)
Valid email address
Be sure to complete the entire application and enter our school code-042435. Once the application is completed and signed, take a deep breath! Our financial aid office will take it from there.
Step 3
Interview with Our Financial Aid Office
Once we receive your FAFSA, a representative of our financial aid team will contact you to complete this process.
