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
Log in to your studentaid.gov account and begin a new FAFSA application for the correct school year.
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.

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.
