College Aid Programs

Understand the Student Financial Aid Process
the student financial aid process begins with your filing the appropriate forms for college and federal student aid


View the Student Aid Formula
the student aid formula takes the cost of education and substracts the expected family contribution — the net amount is the eligible student aid that you can receive

College Financial Aid Eligibility
in order to receive federal student financial aid, you must complete high school (or receive an GED), be enrolled in an approved academic program, and other eligibility requirements


Check the Student Aid Report from the Federal Government
your student aid report (SAR) has the expected family contribution to education costs — it is sent to your schools for calculating your eligible student aid


Get Your College Financial Aid Award Letter
the college award letter lists what eligibile student aid that will be awarded you — the total award may or may not cover the full cost of education
