<p>If my sibling is already in college and using the FAFSA, do I need to set up my own account?</p>
<p>Yes. Your parent can sign with the PIN he/she already has, but you will need one of your own.</p>
<p>Your FAFSA and your PIN are related to your name and your social security number. You must have your own PIN and do your own FAFSA.</p>
<p>I have heard there is a way of transferring the parent data from your siblings FAFSA to yours. I have never done it though, so don’t know how. it is not hard to do the form.</p>
<p>At the end of the FAFSA (after you submit) there’s an option for parents data to be transferred to start another sibling’s filing. That sibling then logs in and presto! the parent info is all complete…which is very nice!</p>
