Because you've surfed to this site, you already know that the World Wide Web is a vast source of information about college, training programs, careers, and financial aid. Below are a couple of Web sites VSAC staff have found useful in helping students and families with planning and paying for college. This is the College Board s site.
Information covers career planning, college selection, and financial aid.
