For many young men, the road to a good education and career begins with a single, simple step: Registering with the Selective Service. Registration is required for many college loans, grants and scholarships, job training programs and millions of jobs. In many places, you need to register at the time you get your driver’s license. Be sure to check. Fortunately, it’s easy. You can get help at your school, find a mail-in form at the post office, check the box on the FAFSA form or register online at sss.gov, where you can also learn more about taking this important step.
