Subject: 2014-2015 FAFSA on the Web Preview Presentation

In order to assist the community with the 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) processing cycle, we are pleased to provide the attached Microsoft PowerPoint presentation containing information and screen shots pertaining to the 2014-2015 FAFSA on the Web site.

For 2014-2015, we have restructured the format and purpose of the FAFSA on the Web preview presentation, based on feedback from the community. The purpose of this year’s presentation is to provide financial aid administrators (FAAs), mentors, and counselors with screen shots that can be used as a reference tool for the 2014-2015 FAFSA on the Web site. We encourage you to use this information for internal staff training or for high school night presentations.

Note the following changes to this presentation for 2014-2015:

  • The screen shots in this presentation are intended to show a majority of the questions on FAFSA on the Web; however, most students and/or parents will likely not need to answer all of these questions when completing their application.

  • This presentation does not include any screen shots of the FAFSA Correction process, as this process is similar to the initial FAFSA completion process.

  • All data used to create this presentation is test data and is intended to show examples of what the site will look like when it is available.

Additional information regarding enhancements to the 2014-2015 FAFSA on the Web site is available in the 2013 FAFSA & Application Processing Update General Session from the 2013 Federal Student Aid Training Conference. In addition, detailed information about enhancements to FAFSA on the Web will also be provided in the 2014-2015 Summary of Changes for the Application Processing System guide, which will be available later this month on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site.

The 2014-2015 Web Demonstration site will be available at http://fafsademo.test.ed.gov on December 29, 2013. The demonstration site can be used as a training tool for your staff and for students and parents. You can access the demonstration site using eddemo as the User ID and fafsatest as the password.
