Washington, D.C. 20202 *8* The instructions on the application explain how each question is to be answered. However, due to limited space, the instructions cannot address every possible family situation. In the following pages, we have provided a copy of the 1994-95 application. In addition, we will discuss the purpose of the application questions, and discuss how information should be reported in some unusual cases. [[The copy of the FAFSA which is on pages 60-63 is currently unavailable for viewing. Please reference your paper document for additional information.]] *8* Please note, however, that much of the information collected on the application is specified by law, and is needed to compute the EFC. Therefore, any comments should take into account the requirements of Section 474 of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. |
