For many students, choosing and applying to colleges often comes down to
dollars and cents. How to pay for college often is one of the first
things students begin to contemplate when the college application
process begins. One of the main components in seeking aid is completing
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The application for 2012-13 funding became available Sunday and can be
found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. That’s the best way to determine a family’s
financial situation when it comes to paying for college, and what other
means they need to find, said Michael Barlow, the financial aid director
at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.
Barlow encourages students to complete the document by the end of
January, because one fund, the College Access Program, typically is
depleted by mid-February.
