financial aid

Paying for college can be stressful and confusing. But if you do your research and get organized, you can make the best decision for you and your college-bound student. Loans are a helpful way to bridge any gaps, but as you can see, there are other ways to afford the cost. Regardless of what you choose to do, don’t forget to fill out a new FAFSA form before every academic year.
