Enter or select the month in the “Month” field. Use the “mm” format if typing. For example, August should be entered as “08.”
Enter the year in the “Year” field in “yyyy” format. For example, enter “2015” instead of “15.”
Your state of legal residence will use this information to determine if you meet its criteria for state financial aid.
Each state determines legal residency differently. Contact your college’s or career/trade school’s financial aid office for help answering permanent address questions.
