U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid (FSA)
U.S. Department of Education PIN
College is a time to fill your head with knowledge and information, and there are a few things you'll want to commit to memory: your Social Security Number, your Student ID # and... your Federal Student Aid PIN. This is a 4-digit number that the student and a parent use to electronically sign the FAFSA each year and your PIN is used for other important things, such as: completing Entrance Counseling and accessing your federal student loan information.
