You can’t get a quality college education if you are not enrolled due to lack of finances. And let’s not forget that college student loan debt is at an all-time high so financial aid and scholarships are more important than ever before. In a nutshell, the college financial aid office is an essential destination for every college student. Each college has their own set of financial aid policies and procedures so you need to talk with a Financial Aid Advisor to discuss your specific situation. I suggest students visit financial aid no less than once a semester.
Here are 5 questions to ask your Financial Aid Advisor during your first meeting.
- How do I finalize my financial aid award?
- Do you offer need-based and merit-based financial aid?
- What academic standards must I meet to maintain my financial aid?
- How do I apply for more aid my circumstances change or I don’t have enough to cover my full tuition?
- Where can I get information about other sources of financial aid?
Get To Graduation Workshop – The path to a college degree is rarely linear. Earning a degree is only part of the successful higher education equation. A well-adjusted student has a plan B, C and D, understands the importance of strong connections, practical experience, and marketable skills, and has learned to leverage campus and career opportunities. This workshop will help both graduate and undergraduate students maintain motivation and make the most of their college years.
