Why Fill Out a FAFSA?

To apply for federal student financial aid, and to apply for many state student aid programs, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information you provide on your FAFSA determines if you are eligible for financial aid.

What are the benefits of using FAFSA on the Web?

The following are several good reasons why you should consider using FAFSA on the Web:

• FAFSA on the Web uses skip logic based on your information, so you will need to answer fewer questions than on the paper FAFSA.
• FAFSA on the Web checks your answers before you submit your application, so there is less chance your application will be rejected because of missing or conflicting information.
• You can save application information so that it can be completed and transmitted at a later time.
• FAFSA on the Web can be used on Windows or Macintosh computers, using the most popular Netscape and Microsoft browser versions.
• FAFSA on the Web doesn't require software to be installed, so it takes less time before you can actually use the application.
