FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) on the Web is the U.S. Department of Education's official electronic application for federal student aid and the Tennessee Lottery Scholarship.  In order to sign the application, you must first obtain a "PIN" (personal identification number).  The PIN allows you to electronically sign your application verses printing out the application, signing it by hand, then mailing it in.  To apply for your PIN visit www.PIN.ed.gov

The FAFSA is also your application for other government assistance such as Parent Plus student loans or PALE Grant.
