Title: Student Aid on the Web (JH)
Abstract: Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education, seeks renewal of the registration system within the Student Aid on the Web, an Internet Portal Web site (hereafter "The Web Site"). The Web site makes the college application process more efficient, faster, and accurate by making it an automated, electronic process that targets financial aid and college applications. The Web site uses some personal contact information criteria to automatically fill out the forms and surveys initiated by the user. The Web site also provides a database of demographic information that helps Federal Student Aid target the distribution of financial aid materials to specific groups of students and/or parents. For example, studies have shown that providing student financial assistance information to middle school (or elementary school) students and/or their parents dramatically increases the likelihood that those students will attend college. The demographic information from the Web site helps us to identify potential customers in the middle school age range. The FAFSA4caster Data Transfer module has been added to the Web site since its last approval. As with the FAFSA Data Transfer module, data from the student's MyFSA profile pre-populates the FAFSA4caster - FAFSA4caster is the U.S. Department of Education's financial aid estimator tool that determines what type of financial aid the student is eligible to receive and provides an estimated award amount for each. The FAFSA4caster data transfer module uses current MyFSA profile information and, therefore, does not require the collection of additional data items.
