The Department of Education requires that all (male) students seeking Federal financial aid be registered for Selective Service, as this is a general requirement for all male citizens within the United States between the ages of 18 and 25. Male citizens over the age 25 are not required to register, but must submit documentation as to why they could not register if a citizen during that age. Female students seeking Federal financial aid are not required to have registered for Selective Service.
