Select the option that indicates the student’s citizenship status.


Select Yes (U.S. citizen or U.S. national) if the student is a U.S. citizen or U.S. national.


A person is a United States citizen by birth or by naturalization. U.S. citizens include

  • persons (except for the children of foreign diplomatic staff) who are born in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in most cases, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Marianna Islands; and

  • most persons born abroad to parents (or a parent) who are citizens.


All U.S. citizens are considered to be U.S. nationals, but not all nationals are citizens. Natives of American Samoa and Swain Island are not U.S. citizens, but are nationals.


Select No (eligible noncitizen) if the student isn’t a U.S. citizen (or U.S. national) and is one of the following:


  • A U.S. permanent resident, with a Permanent Resident Card (I-551), or a conditional permanent resident with a Conditional Green Card (I-551C)

  • Other eligible noncitizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: “Refugee,” “Asylum Granted,” “Parolee” (I-94 confirms that you were paroled for a minimum of one year and status has not expired), T-Visa holder (T-1, T-2, T-3, etc.), or “Cuban-Haitian Entrant”

  • The holder of a valid certification or eligibility letter from the Department of Health and Human Services showing a designation of “Victim of human trafficking”

  • A Canadian-born Native American under terms of the Jay Treaty


Select No (neither citizen nor eligible noncitizen) if the student is in the U.S. and has


  • been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA);

  • a F1 or F2 student visa;

  • a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa;

  • a G series visa (pertaining to international organizations); or

  • other categories not included under U.S. citizen and eligible noncitizen


If the student is neither a citizen nor an eligible noncitizen, the student isn’t eligible for federal student aid. If the student has a Social Security Number but isn’t a citizen or an eligible noncitizen, including if the student has been granted DACA, the student should still complete the FAFSA® form because the student may be eligible for state or college aid.
