We’re about to give our FAFSA website, FAFSAonline.com, a makeover, including updating it for the 2009-2010 FAFSA which will be finalized soon. As part of that process, I’d like to invite you to add your comments and feedback about the site, about what you like about it and what you think needs to be improved, what things you use the most and what things are missing that you really need. While I can’t guarantee that every suggestion will be implemented, I can guarantee that every suggestion will be read and given weight.
A few things that will not change:
- We will never charge for the FAFSA. It’s free for a reason.
- We will be keeping and updating our guide to become a true line-by-line guide.
- We will continue answering your questions in the comments on our FAFSA blog.
What can we do better here to help you?
