Students "invite" parents to FAFSA under new process

October 31, 2023

Students completing the 2024-25 FAFSA will “invite” parents to contribute to their FAFSA.

To invite parents, students will first determine who will be the parent(s) for FAFSA purposes by completing a series of "parent wizard" questions on the FAFSA.

Once the parent or parents are determined, the student will complete a form entering the following information about their parent(s):

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Date of birth
  • Social Security number
  • Email address

It will be important for the student to have this information available in order to invite a parent to contribute to their FAFSA.
