Overview

• The 2016-2017 FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) Preview Presentation provides screenshots that Financial Aid Professionals, mentors, and counselors can use as a guide for the 2016-2017 FOTW ® site. The screenshots and information provided can be used to create/modify presentations for professional trainings and high school nights.

• The screenshots are intended to show the majority of the questions displayed on FOTW; however, most students and/or parents are unlikely to need to answer all of the questions when completing his/her application.

• This presentation does not include screenshots of the FOTW Correction process, as it is similar to the Application process.

• The test data used in this presentation shows examples of what the site will look like when it is available.
