How to Get a Paper FAFSA Form

If you are planning to go to college or if you have a child who is applying to schools, you must fill out a federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form unless you plan to foot the entire bill yourself. The FAFSA form can quickly be completed online, but if you do not have Internet access, you can still get a copy of the form and fill it out before your state's deadline.

Instructions

    • 1

      Call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 800-433-3243 and request a form. The center will mail you a copy with a pre-addressed envelope in which to return the form.

    • 2

      Visit your local library and secure a form. If you have trouble finding it, ask the librarian. Most public libraries carry important government documents, like tax and financial aid forms. If the library does not have what you need, ask the librarian to help you find the form on the FAFSA website (fafsa.ed.gov), download and print it.

    • 3

      Stop by the guidance counselor's office at your student's high school and request a form.

    • 4

      Contact the college you plan to attend and have the financial aid office send you the FAFSA form in a packet of information on grants and scholarships available.

    • 5

      Visit your local career counseling or resource center and request a form. Since these agencies help students obtain their GEDs or take off-campus college courses, they keep a stockpile of FAFSA forms handy.
