Dos and Don'ts
DO
- File a FAFSA application for aid. Without the applciation you will not be considered for need-based grants, Stafford Loans and federal work study.
- Attend a financial aid seminar. High schools, colleges or community groups usually offer free presentations in October or November.
- Rely on professional advice offered free of charge from high school guidance counselors and college financial aid administrators.
- Obtain all reqired literature from your selection of prospective colleges and comply with their application requirements and deadlines.
DON'T
- Fail to file an application
- Wait until you get accepted to a school to file the financial aid application. File aid applications for all schools you are interested in by their published deadlines.
- Rely on acquaintances and relatives for financial aid advice. No one school, family or circumstances are the same.
- Send information by special delivery, overnight mail or private carrier. Use first class mail, unless instructed otherwise.
- Sign, date or submit the FAFSA applciation prior to October 1 of the year before you will be attending school.
