a variety of resources available to help blind and visually impaired
students fund their education beyond high school.
*	Funding Education Beyond High School: Audio Highlights 
		Formerly called the Student Aid Audio Guide, this new
audio release introduces students to resources such as Web sites (and
both Braille and print publications) that will help them decide what to
study, what school is right for them, what to look for-and look out
for-in financing their education, what career choices to make, and much
more.
Audio Highlights also provides information on nonfederal sources of aid.
Students can listen to Audio Highlights online at
www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov/audio.
Audio Highlights is available on compact disc. For more information,
students can call our Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC)
toll-free at 1-800-433-3243.
The following Federal Student Aid print publications are available in
Braille and may be ordered by calling the FSAIC.
*	Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and FAFSA on
the Web Worksheet
Students use the FAFSA to apply for the Department's federal student aid
programs. Although the Braille FAFSA cannot be submitted, students may
use it as a guide when they apply on paper, or they can use the Braille
FAFSA on the Web Worksheet as a guide when they apply online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
*	Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal
Student Aid 
This publication is a comprehensive and user-friendly resource that can
be used at every stage of the student's financial aid lifecycle. The
guide describes the three major types of federal student aid
available-grants, loans and work-study-and explains how to apply for
them. The guide also includes sources of nonfederal aid. The guide is
available online at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov/guide.
