Overview of the Financial Aid Process

Please view this brief You Tube about financial aid.  It is best to review the questions below before you watch the video so that you can be prepared to easily hear the answer.  Although you can apply anytime, it is best to apply as soon after the first of January.  The pot of money diminishes as the year progresses.

Overview of the Financial Aid Process

1.  Where is the best place to turn for assistance in grants, loans, and work study funds?

2.  What is the official site for FAFSA?

3.  When is the best time to apply for financial aid?

4.  Is a Federal loan free?

5.  How much should you borrow on a student loan?

Please submit the answers to me via my email  eandrews@dc.rr.com.  This mini quiz is worth 5 points.

This assignment is for my lecture class (section 8316) and it is due tomorrow, October 3, 2014, by 11:59 p.m.

UNIGO Scholarship

If you applied for this scholarship and you are in one of my classes, please be prepared to share in class the five words that you submitted and your 200 word essay.

Of course, if you win you must let me know!  That is what makes it all worthwhile for me.

Did you remember to make a copy before you submitted your application?

Be Fabulous

Just a bit of motivation!  When you are writing your personal essay, you need to stand out.  Keep asking yourself  why you deserve to be the winner.  Why should the scholarship donor select you?  Your motivation to succeed must show.  

Professor Seelig expresses my sentiments precisely.  I, too, expect 150% from you.  Trust me, it will pay off in many ways.
