[Cabs-talk] accessibility of the FAFSA

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, everybody,

If you don't figure out how to submit your FASFA, Online, I have 
always found it easy to call up the FASFA number and tell the rep you 
have no access o the Net. They usually do the application with you 
over the phone.
You will need to find a sighted person to help you sign the FASFA 
after it is mailed to you.
Good luck.
