The Financial Aid Department currently has several PDF documents on the college website. Potential students typically print the form, write in their answers, and mail or fax it back to the Financial Aid office, leading to processing delays and data entry errors. 

You should design and code a simple web application to put the attached form on the web and collect information from potential students in a database. The user experience is important. You may redesign the form in any way you like, as long as all the information is collected.

It should meet the following technical requirements:
1.	Client-side code written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript designed for Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
2.	Server-side code written with .NET Framework 2.0 or better, C# or VB.NET, ASP.NET MVC or WebForms
3.	Record data in a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 database. 
4.	You may use any open source libraries or frameworks. Your final solution should not contain any commercial products except those listed above.

The express editions of Visual Studio and SQL Server are available for free on the internet should you choose to use them.
