The FAFSA is available in several formats, including online, PDF and paper versions.
The best option is to complete the web-based version of the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov, known as FAFSA on the Web. It includes step-by-step instructions for completing the online FAFSA as well as preapplication worksheets. You can obtain a PIN to electronically sign the form by visiting www.pin.ed.gov.

Loan Holiday for Teachers and Counselors
If you become or plan to become a public or charter school teacher or counselor in North Carolina on or after July 1, 2005, here's something to keep in mind. You could be eligible for a Loan Payment Holiday in December if you are employed in the North Carolina public school system and have a North Carolina Federal Family Education Loan in repayment.
The annual Loan Payment Holiday allowable per person will be the amount of your December loan payment or $375.00, whichever is less. Since the payment will be made for you that month, you'll have extra cash available just in time for those holiday extras. We'll cover up to ten December payments for you as long as you are eligible.
