Students love Frank

I couldn’t believe something like a FAFSA® could be done in such a short time! Boy, was I wrong! It was quick, easy, and helped me get into my college of choice as well as pick a lot of other opportunities based on my choices!

Being a single mom, I knew paying for school wouldn’t be easy so I signed up for financial aid. I was thinking, “When will I have the time to fill out an application??” But with Frank it was easy!! They helped me every step of the way.

In helping my son prepare his information for the FAFSA® application, we were extremely fortunate to come across Frank. The service makes the FAFSA® application process a snap.

How does Frank protect its customers’ information?
We store your data using high encryption and storage security methods. In addition, we use and apply the appropriate security measures to preserve the confidentiality of your information. Frank uses software to monitor traffic on its network in order to detect unauthorized attempts to download or change information, or to otherwise damage the site. This software receives and records the IP address of the computer used by the person visiting our website, the date and time of the visit and the pages viewed. We do not attempt to make the connection between these addresses and the identities of the individuals who visit our site, unless an intrusion or disruption attempt is detected.
Why would I use Frank when I can go straight to the government’s site?
Frank is everything the government’s site is not; fast, easy and painless. We simplify the FAFSA® application process, bringing completion time from hours down to minutes.
We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Education. Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of Education, makes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and assistance available to the public for free at fafsa.gov.

¹70% savings on college courses based on US News and World Report’s estimate that in-state tuition at a public 4-year institution is $9,687, or $969 per 3 credit course given 30 credits per year, and Classfinder's 3 credit course offering has a minimum price of $295.
