A great feature of Student Aid on the Web is MyFSA. Establishing a MyFSA account allows you to register your name and basic profile information that can be used to search and match to the right career fields, colleges and scholarships. At your option, your profile information can be used to pre-populate certain fields on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), FAFSA4caster and electronic college admission applications. You can even calculate an estimated family contribution (EFC).
Student Aid on the Web's many "wizards and searches" can be used to guide you through each step in planning and preparing for education beyond high school.
