ACT Provides Financial
Aid Tips for Students
The start of a new year is quickly approaching and that means one thing: It's
financial aid time again. Experts at ACT offer the following information to
help families find the resources they need to complete their financial aid paperwork.
The most important form is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Beginning Jan. 1.. students will be able to submit the form that
determines eligibility for student financial aid from federal programs. Students
will need family income statements from their 2001 earnings to complete
the form. Colleges and universities also use the FAFSA, but may also
require students to fill out additional forms. The FAFSA is available from
high school counselors or at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Financial Aid tips from ACT:
(1) Apply early for admission and financial aid, (2) check with your college
to determine if other financial aid forms are required, (3) apply for scholarships
and grants. (4) look into work study programs, (5) surf the web for
financial aid information.
