The World Wide Web is an important form of communication between schools and borrowers. As default prevention efforts grow, your school's Web site should follow, providing an abundance of resources, links, and school information. It is important not only to maintain your site but to continuously add new resources to meet the needs of your student population.

• Applying for financial aid.
• Applying for a student loan.
• Other types of aid.
• Frequently asked questions.
• Counseling requirements and on-line sites.
• Money management tips and budgeting resources.
• Recommended on-line calculators and Web sites.
• Job search resources and employment outlook.
• Consequences of default.
• Repayment options.
• Deferment and forbearance.
• A financial aid calendar.
