FAFSA®: School Selection

FAFSA: School Selection In this section, you'll search for the colleges where you would like to send your FAFSA information.

You can add up to 10 colleges at a time to the FAFSA.

Add all the colleges you are interested in, even if you haven't applied or been accepted.

If you want to submit the FAFSA to more than 10 schools, you should list 10 schools and then submit the FAFSA.

Once you've confirmed all of your schools have received the FAFSA, you can go back to the FAFSA and make a correction and replace the current schools with the new schools where you want to submit the FAFSA.

If you know the college's school code, enter it and click "Search," or search for the code by entering the state and/or city and school name.

Once you've entered your colleges, you may change the positioning of any school on your list.

For federal financial aid, it doesn't matter what order your list is in.

However, the order of schools may affect your state aid eligibility.

This is something to ask your school about.

For each school you list, select the appropriate housing plan:

on-campus, off-campus, or living with parents.

The FAFSA will be submitted to your school choices for purposes related to determining your financial aid eligibility.

Every school has their own timeline for requesting additional information and providing financial aid offers.

As a result, you should make yourself aware of the different timelines for each of your schools.
