DUO APP INFO

In Vol. 1 of this guide, we would like to inform you of important updates at Henderson State. These updates include: How to see your bill How to view your schedule Where to find student resources

We have been working hard in the last year to reimagine Henderson as a college that works for all students, and this has led to some changes in our operations. Our goal is to connect you with degrees that lead to high-demand careers and to provide the resources that make this possible. We are implementing a new system called Banner and experienced some delays in recent weeks. Therefore, we have created this guide, one of multiple communications which will be distributed throughout the semester, to help you catch up with any questions related to your bill, class schedule, and general information about starting the fall semester. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!

FAFSA GUIDE

WHAT IS THE FAFSA?

The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. The application must be filled out in order for a college to award the student any federal aid. The steps below will help you fill out the FAFSA the right way and qualify for maximum benefits. Remember, you must complete a FAFSA form each school year!

CREATE YOUR FSA ID

Visit studentaid.gov, click "Create Account" and Create a FSA ID. This is a username and password which allows you to sign your FAFSA electronically.

FILL OUT YOUR FAFSA APPLICATION

Start and complete your FAFSA as soon as possible and stay up to date on changes to the FAFSA requirements.

SELECT HSU - 001098

FILL OUT YOUR STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS SECTION This is your full name, date of birth, social security number, and other personal information. If you are renewing your FAFSA, your information will be carried forward from the last application, saving you time.

ANSWER THE DEPENDENCY STATUS QUESTION

In the "School Selection" add Henderson State University using the institutional code 001098 so that we will receive your information.

Now, you will answer questions to determine whether you need to provide parent information on your 6. FAFSA. These questions determine whether you are considered a dependent student to determine the extent of eligibility for federal student aid. If you qualify as a dependent student, you will have to report parent information. Otherwise, you will skip to step 7.

SUPPLY THE REQUIRED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Once you complete your FAFSA, you can sign it online with your FSA ID. If you are dependent, your parent must sign the form as well.

If you need help filling out a FAFSA, please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns! Don't pass up your chance to apply for federal aid this year! Office of Financial Aid | 870-230-5148 | financialaid@hsu.edu

FILL OUT THE PARENTAL DEMOGRAPHICS SECTION If you qualify as a dependent student, you will need to fill out the parent demographic TIP information.

SIGN AND SUBMIT YOUR FASFA The FAFSA form asks for financial information, including information from tax forms and balances of savings and checking accounts. If you are a dependent, your parents will provide their financial information into your FAFSA.
