FAFSA Parent Wizard
Your student may need to ask their parent(s) to provide information on their FAFSA form based on their dependency status. If your student is a dependent, they may need to report their parents’ information.
The FAFSA Parent Wizard is a tool that simplifies FAFSA form completion by helping families determine which parent(s) should contribute to a student’s FAFSA form. This clarity can help families navigate this crucial step with confidence and ensure accurate information is submitted for the student’s FAFSA form.

To help students and their families identify who will provide information on the FAFSA form, we’ve created the following videos about contributors:
