Federal & College Financial Aid:

A huge source of aid is in college scholarships and grants. Every college offers some scholarships. Some schools require you to admit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) even for non-need assistance. For many colleges you must ask for and submit a separate scholarship application. The appearance and accuracy of your applications are very important. Double-check them before submitting. Keep a copy for your records. It may save you time later.

Your family will need to file a “needs” analysis. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) as it opens!!!!!!!! Aid is on a first come, first serve basis! Be sure to check your college’s PRIORITY DEADLINE DATE!
