<p>What exactly is FAFSA? Is it good to have a pin number, or to fill it out without it?</p>
<p>The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)</p>
<p>You must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if you want to apply for federal and state financial aid. Many colleges and universities, especially public institutions, also require the FAFSA. You must submit the FAFSA every year that you want aid. </p>

<p>For the school year 2006-07 you can file your FAFSA on jan 1, 2006</p>
<p>If you are applying on line you and yoru parents will definitely need a PIN number. In the mean time you can go on line to apply for a PIN which you ill use as an electronic signature for your fafsa.</p>
