Web Application Features

• The web application server stores the information you enter under the private user name and password you establish.
  
  
• Nothing you enter on an application form is sent to the institution until you transmit it. That means you can set up your account, fill out information on an application form, change it, and save it free of charge and without worry of disclosing information to the institution before you're ready.
  
  
• You don't have to complete an application in one sitting. For example, you can start working on an application at your library's web terminal, save your work, recall it from your web terminal at home, and continue working from there. Wherever you have access to the web, you have access to the information you've saved.
  
  
• When you fill out more than one application form, ApplyWeb automatically enters common information you filled in on the first form in all subsequent forms. For example, if you've entered your name and address on an application form and saved it, ApplyWeb will automatically write that information on the next form you call up (assuming, of course, that the next form also has name and address fields). Also, if you change the information on one form, it's changed on all others.
  
  
• Your data is transmitted securely over the Internet. The information you enter is encrypted and secure when you save it and when you send it. Although general data collected on the system may be used in statistical studies and reports designed to assist institutions with planning, any information bearing your personal identification is only disclosed to the department you send it to.
  
  
• When you save or transmit application information, a note appears in your Personal Log. You can easily check your Personal Log to see a record of your system activity. Your Personal Log also tells you when an institution has acknowledged receipt of your application.

Scholarship Eligibility

• Upon submitting your web application you become automatically eligible for a number of scholarships awarded by CollegeNET. In 1998, these awards totalled $11,000. For details visit www.CollegeNET.com/scholarships/.
