I Got My Student Aid Index - Now What?

Applying for financial aid begins with completing and filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). But what happens next?

This session will review the application submission process, how to prepare to file, and how everything rolls into a college or university's Financial Aid Award Letter. Attendees will learn terminology, how grants, loans, and work-study funds are determined, and why one college's award might be different from another. Tom O'Hare, a parent of four and holistic college advisor, will answer the question, what's next and share tips on how to find and secure scholarships and other resources to help define the right funding strategy.
