Who should be a “Contributor” on my FAFSA?
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.
