Financial
Aid is based on the family’s ability to pay in relation
to the school’s tuition. All schools require completion
of the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA).
This should be completed as quickly after
January 1 of the senior year as possible. Most schools
have a priority deadline of February 15. The sooner this is
completed, the greater your chances for available grant money.
Your financial aid package will be composed of three possible
sources 1) grants, which do not need to be paid back 2) loans
and 3) work-study. Some schools require a second application
know as the CSS
Profile. This form is available for a modest fee and should
be completed as soon as possible after October
1 of the senior year. The most important thing to keep
in mind is the list of exact requirements
for each school and to read their information carefully.
