Students and contributors will get confirmation when they complete their section of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA^®) form. This confirmation does not mean the form was submitted, only that the section is complete.

Once all student and contributor portions of the form are complete, the student or a contributor can submit the FAFSA form.

Students

The student’s confirmation page will include their estimated Student Aid Index (SAI) and other financial facts. It may mention if further action is needed for the FAFSA form. Students will also receive an email confirming their submission.

At any time, students can check the status of their FAFSA form from the “My Activity” page after logging in to StudentAid.gov.

Contributors

A contributor may submit the FAFSA form on behalf of the student only if all sections are complete. The contributor will see a limited version of the confirmation page and the student will receive an email with their confirmation details.

The student and all contributors should check their form in the status center to ensure no further action is needed after submission.
