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

• FAFSA on the Web is faster than applying for aid by paper.
• FAFSA on the Web uses skip logic based on your particular information, so you will need to answer fewer questions than on the paper application.
• 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.
• You can access FAFSA on the Web from anywhere, including school or home, making it more convenient to complete the application.
• FAFSA on the Web can support an unlimited number of users, allowing thousands of students to apply at once.
