Don't eliminate any college because of high costs . . . Before a student's chances for aid can determined, many colleges require both an application for admission and financial aid. Keep in mind all deadline dates.
Most students consider grant and loan applications first.
Your high school counselor or a financial aid officer can provide more information about resources. It is advisable to develop a calendar of important deadline dates . . . Be sure to keep copies of all forms submitted in the aid process. To help distribute limited funds fairly, most colleges require a need analysis form. The need analysis service calculates how much you and your family can pay for education and sends results to your college choices.
