FSA ID Resources

Use these resources to increase FSA ID accounts in your school/site

The FSA ID is a username and password combination that students and contributors use to log in to U.S. Department of Education (ED) online systems. The FSA ID is a legal signature and shouldn’t be created or used by anyone other than the student or contributor. The FSA ID is used every year you fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and for the lifetime of federal student loans.

About FAFSA+

Through FAFSA Plus+, we provide student-level data for the FAFSA and resources on FAFSA/ORSAA completion to college access partners. To be eligible for most types of financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA). We work in partnership with high school staff, community-based organizations, and other college support programs to increase FAFSA and ORSAA completion rates.
