The University of Florida would like to share our FAFSA Resources for High Schools.
The UF FAFSA Toolkit includes videos, FAQs, morning news scripts, links and other helpful information to assist high school counselors, teachers and administrators explain the financial aid process and inspire students to apply for financial aid for college.
Please visit the UF FAFSA Toolkit at http://www.sfa.ufl.edu/fafsa/
Completing the FAFSA is the first step toward getting financial aid for college or career school. The FAFSA not only gives students access to the $150 billion in grants, loans, and work-study funds that the federal government has available, but many states, schools, and private scholarships require you to submit the FAFSA before they will consider you for any financial aid they offer. That’s why it’s important that every college-bound student complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.

How to Help Students Work Around the IRS DRT Outage
Attention NCAN members:
NCAN has become aware that the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) is currently not working. If you are assisting a student or family attempting to complete a FAFSA and click to go the IRS website, you will receive this message:
This service will be unavailable due to system maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience. If more information is available, you can find it by selecting the service from the Tools page.
NCAN recommends that until the system is available again, families bypass this option and manually enter all the required financial information in both the student and parent sections of the FAFSA. This will allow the form to be completed and submitted.
At this point, NCAN has not received any guidance regarding how the DRT system outage will affect students in terms of being selected for verification. We encourage our members that are still assisting with FAFSA completion to relay a message to your families about bringing all appropriate 2015 tax forms and information with them to their appointment or workshop so that you may assist them with completing the FAFSA.
NCAN hopes that this issue will be resolved quickly, as state and institutional deadlines are prevalent in the month of March. Thank you for your support.
