FAFSA or TASFA? Which financial aid application should you use?
There are many different applications for people with different statuses. Choose the one that best applies to you:
- U.S. Citizen
- Permanent U.S. resident with an Alien Registration Card (I-551)
- Conditional permanent U.S. resident with visa type I-551C.
- Eligible noncitizen with an Arrival/Departure Record (I-94) showing one of the following:
- Refugee,
- Asylum granted,
- Parolee (for a minimum of one year), or
- Cuban-Haitian entrant.
If none of these apply to you but you are classified as a Texas resident and therefore are eligible to pay the Texas in-state tuition rate, use this 2010-2011 TASFA Application or 2010-2011 TASFA Application Spanish. To use this application, your classification as a Texas resident must not be due to a waiver such as an in-state scholarship or an assistantship.
