RE: Two Millionth 2002-2003 FAFSA on the Web Application Received

A new record has been set for the number of web applications received at the beginning of a financial aid cycle!

On February 26, we reported that we received our one millionth 2002-2003 FAFSA on the Web application; we can now report that the two
millionth 2002-2003 FAFSA on the Web application was received on April 4. By comparison, we did not hit the two millionth milestone for the 2001-2002 cycle until June 14 of last year.

This is an excellent response to FSA's objective of increasing the number of web filers. A big thank you goes out to all who have promoted the
use of the web for filing the FAFSA.
