FAFSA
& Other Financial Aid
Do NOT have a social security number? Nevada provides eligible undocumented residents, including DACA recipients, with access to in-state tuition, state financial aid, professional and occupational licenses, and driver's licenses and state identification. Institutional Methodology form.
This year all WCSD High Schools have coordinated FAFSA nights. If you can't attend one at the high school your student attends, you can attend a different night at a different school. All events will have representatives from both UNR and TMCC. These dates will be happening in October and November. (All times are from 6-8 pm)
FAFSA is a TWO-Step process. Setting up an FSA ID is the first step. Filling out the actual FAFSA form is the second step. Both parents and students must do both steps!
