Subject: Invitation for States to Participate in the Application Programming Interface with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web

The Department of Education, Federal Student Aid (ED/FSA) is inviting state student aid grant agencies to partner with us. This partnership will provide financial aid applicants from your state the ability to leverage data provided through the online FAFSA. Allowing the applicant to transfer FAFSA data will streamline the collection of information your state needs to determine an applicant's eligibility for your state grant program(s).

Interested persons may review the attached Invitation for basic conditions of participation. Agencies interested in learning more about this opportunity must attend the briefing session scheduled for May 7, 2013 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST.

Please contact Andrea Bell at ED/FSA at Andrea.Bell@ed.gov by April 8, 2013 if you plan to participate in the briefing session.
