“No” will automatically be selected for
the question “Will you have your first
bachelor’s degree before you begin
the 2020-2021 school year?”
If you select “Male,” you will be asked if you are registered with Selective
Service System – this is the system that the government pulls from in
case of a military draft. You would know if you have already registered
(you would have actively done so, either by mail or by going to the post
office.) All males ages 18-26 must register (by law), and – as a male – you
cannot receive federal aid if you are not registered.
It you have not registered, it will ask if you want to be registered through
your FAFSA application. This is easier than registering on your own, but it
is up to you.
