Questions 1-30 (All applicants must complete these questions).

Question 8 will ask about your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If you entered an SSN in question 8, was it issued after you went through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process? If yes, then you’ll check yes if your SSN was issued after you completed DACA.

Question 23 will ask about your gender. If you’re a male then you must register to the Selective Service. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register, regardless of their immigration status. The Selective Service System does not collect or share immigration information with anyone. If you select “Register Me”, it will send your data to the Selective Service to register you. You will receive a confirmation by US mail of your registration within 90 days. Keep the original and provide a copy to your college financial aid office in order to receive state financial aid. If you don’t select “Register Me”, be aware that you may still be required by your college to fill out a paper registration form, sign, and mail it. If you’re a female, you don’t need to register for the Selective Service.

Question 31 will ask about if you’re interested in student loans. You’ll put no since it only applies to Cal States and UC’s.

Questions 32-59 Instructions (All applicants must complete these questions).  All students (dependent and independent) must provide their financial information for these questions. If an answer is zero or a question does not apply to you, enter 0 (zero). Do not leave any of these questions blank.

Question 65 will ask about parent 1 SSN and question 69 will ask about parent 2 SSN. Enter your parent’s SSN or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If your parent has both numbers, have them enter their SSN. If your parent doesn’t have an SSN or ITIN, enter 000000000.
