FAFSA Filing Options

Online FAFSA (Recommended)

File your FAFSA online. This is the fastest way to apply. Your answers are automatically edited resulting in fewer mistakes, and only questions that apply to you will be asked.

Students and parents who do not or cannot use the IRS data retrieval process when filing a 2023-2024 FAFSA, will be required to provide a 2021 IRS tax transcript.

Order a Tax Return Transcript online When asked the type of transcript you want be sure to select "RETURN TRANSCRIPT".

Note: Tax transcripts should not be sent to Wentworth Institute of Technology. Please have this form sent to you directly and then forward to Wentworth with the student name and ID number written across the top of the page.

FAFSA Help

Use the Guide to Completing the FAFSA for help answering specific questions.

If you have technical problems with the online FAFSA, please call 1-800-4FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).

FSA ID for PIN Replacement

On Sunday, May 10, 2015, a new login process for federal websites, including the FAFSA, the National Student Loan Data System, StudentLoans.gov, StudentAid.gov, and the TEACH Grant website was implemented. The new FSA ID will be a user-selected username and password. It will replace the current four-digit FSA PIN. Visit the federal student aid website for an instructional video on how to establish your FSA ID.

Important Information After You File

Check the status of your FAFSA:

• online, 1 week after submission if you used your FSA User ID to sign your FAFSA
• online, 2-3 weeks after submission if you printed and mailed a signature page
• when you receive a paper Student Aid Report in the mail, if you mailed a paper FAFSA

The Student Aid Report (SAR) that you view online or receive in the mail contains information reported on your FAFSA. By including the Wentworth school code (002225), this information is automatically sent to us. Review your SAR carefully and make any necessary corrections or updates ASAP. Errors or missing information will delay your aid package.

For families new to Financial Aid and the FAFSA application, we encourage you to register for one of the Financial Aid Workshops available later this Fall.  Please register here to secure your attendance!
