I saw this post on Twitter:
if I dont get net access to complete my FAFSA I may not be going to school this year. #iaflood
You do NOT need Internet access to complete your FAFSA. If you’re stuck in the Iowa floods or some situation where Internet access just isn’t available, you can call the US Department of Education at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243) to speak to someone about alternative options, and even filing by phone.
You can also still download and mail a printed copy, or pick up a paper copy of the FAFSA at a local college or university. Check to see if there’s a college, especially a community college, near you.
The online FAFSA remains the best choice for students, as it is the fastest and typically the most accurate, but in cases where natural disasters preclude that option, the US Department of Education does indeed still accept other options.
One cautionary note: do NOT call other companies for FAFSA by phone options - they WILL try to sell you their paid FAFSA services, which are unnecessary. Only call the US Department of Education.
