A
Guide to Student Financial Aid By Anthony
J. Bellia Students and their parents across the nation struggle
to pay ever increasing college tuition bills. And there is no escaping the reality
that college costs will continue to rise. However, most colleges are more affordable
than one might think. The key is to apply for financial aid and allow the college
to determine which aid programs are applicable. Every family should apply for
aid – even Bill Gates would qualify for a federal unsubsidized loan! This
booklet addresses college financial aid issues for students and their parents
and reviews a variety of college savings plans. Chapter I describes some of the
myths and realities of the student financial aid process. Chapter II explores
the financial aid application process. Chapter III discusses the role of the financial
aid office in awarding and adjusting aid and describes alternative strategies
for meeting unmet need. Chapter IV outlines and compares college savings plans.
