CONTRIBUTOR MODEL
The FAFSA uses a contributor model in which a contributor is anyone who is required to provide information on the FAFSA form, sign it, and give consent to have their federal tax information transferred directly from the IRS into the form. Contributors could be the student, their spouse, their biological or adoptive parent, or their parent's spouse.
