How To Apply for Financial Aid: Step-by-Step Guide

To determine your financial aid eligibility, you’ll need to complete a FAFSA. To do so, visit a UTI FAFSA Service Center or follow this step-by-step guide:

Create a StudentAid.gov Account

Visit studentaid.gov and create an account to establish a Federal Student Aid (FSA ID) - a username and password you set up to sign in to the U.S Department of Education's website and use their online tools.

Gather Necessary Documents

Collect your Social Security number, W-2s, tax returns, bank statements and any other financial records. If you're a dependent or married, you'll also need your parents' or spouse’s information.

Start the FAFSA Form

Complete the Student Demographics Section

Enter your personal information, such as your name, date of birth and address. Ensure all details match your official documents.

List Schools to Receive Your FAFSA Information

Supply Financial Information

Enter your (and your parents' or spouse’s, if applicable) tax and income information. You can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to directly import tax data.

Sign and Submit Your FAFSA

After reviewing your information, sign the form using your FSA ID and submit it. Once submitted, you'll receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) summarizing your FAFSA information. Schools will use this to determine your financial aid eligibility.

Meet with a UTI Financial Aid Advisor

We can help explain your eligibility and provide tips on how to maximize your savings when applying for scholarships, grants or tuition reimbursement programs you may qualify for.

Completing the FAFSA is free and filling it out early can increase your chances of receiving aid so you can start training sooner.
