  9. Education Websites such as troy.blackboard.com enable students to engage in coursework through distance learning. This is big because it enables students to receive an education online, while still being able to fulfill other employment and family obligations.

  11. Online Banking & Bill Payment Online Banking and Bill Payment provide users with the opportunity to transfer money and handle financial obligations from the comfort of their own home. Chase.com is an excellent example.

  12. Collegiate Resources The internet is often used for Collegiate resources. Websites such as fafsa.gov and studentloans.gov provide users access to resources that can help continue their education. Insight on grants, financial aid, and scholarships are very common topics.
