Review your financial aid notes. Select colleges that have the greatest potential to match your financial needs. See financial aid profile in The College Advisor. Remember, many of the highly competitive colleges have the largest amount of money to give. It could cost you less net out of pocket at a higher priced college than at a state college.
Most colleges provide their gift money to the students they want most.
Your chances are enhanced for a better financial-aid package. Get copies of financial aid forms from your school counselor, college financial aid office, banks, libraries or contact the higher education agency in your state. Be sure you have the correct forms for the right college. Forms are usually available in November. Now is the best time to use The College Financing Advisor to begin to search for additional funds.
