AzCAN FAFSA Resource Hub
Important: Personally identifiable information, or PII, collected as part of the FAFSA is used primarily to determine federal aid eligibility. However, there are some circumstances in which this information might be shared with people and agencies outside of the Department of Education. Arizona school counselors, educators, and college access professionals often serve as a resource to help ensure that, as part of the FAFSA process, students and families are aware of and understand the data protections in place for PII, specifically what information is shared and under what circumstances.
