What is a financial aid PIN?
A PIN is the code that you need to: sign your FAFSA online, access and make corrections to your FAFSA online, access and submit your Renewal FAFSA online, and access the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) web site to view information about your loans and other federal student aid you have received. Your financial aid PIN is similar to the PIN you use to access your bank account. To protect the privacy of the information you are submitting, you must keep your PIN in a safe place. If you need a PIN, have lost or forgotten your PIN, or if you think someone else knows your PIN, you can request a new one at www.pin.ed.gov.
