Abstract: FSA seeks renewal of the registration system with the Student Aid on the Web, an Internet Portal Web site. The Web site makes the college application process more efficient, faster, and accurate by making it an automated electronic process that targets financial aid to college applications. The Web site uses some personal contact information criteria to automatically fill out the forms and surveys initiated by the user. The Web site also provides a database of demographic information that helps Federal Student Aid target the distribution of financial aid materials to specific groups of students and/or parents. For example, studies have shown that providing student financial assistance information to middle school (or elementary school) students and/or their parents dramatically increases the likelihood that those students will attend college. The demographic information from the Web site helps us to identify potential customers in the middle school age range and is information that was previously unavailable to us. Only the content has been updated on the Web site since its first approval.
