First financial aid forms!

Dear VI Form (and Parents),

Do you want to be on top of the financial aid application process? Then
have your folks head right on over to
https://profileonline.collegeboard.com/index.jsp : this form used my most
private colleges just went live today.

I know it sounds like a short time frame to fill out this form, but if
your family can complete it by October 15th you will have the best chance
at a prompt delivery of your financial aid package (especially if you are
applying early somewhere, but even if you are not.)

They should also check the website of the colleges to which you are
applying to see if they have any forms particular to them.

After they complete the Profile, they can get ready to fill out the next
form, the FAFSA, by going to www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov .

Questions? Check out the FAQ at www.standrews-de.org/cc - we've got a
whole section of answers on "affording college." Of course, feel free to
come down and ask us also!

Your allies,

The college counselors
