Last year I wrote about how parents of college-bound students are reacting to tough economic times by allowing their son/daughter to only apply to public colleges and universities (with lower tuition costs). My reaction to this was, “What a mistake.”
The financial aid process is confusing at best and for many college-bound students and their parents, it can be incomprehensible. MyCollegeCalendar.org provides a simple, user-friendly flowchart of the entire process showing the types of aid, when to apply, and when students should be notified of scholarship and grant awards.
The bulk of scholarships and grants (free money that doesn’t have to be repaid) is awarded based on (1), student financial need and (2), student academic success. MyCollegeCalendar.org gives descriptions and instructions on how to apply for need-based financial aid.
MyCollegeCalendar.org provides instructions on how and when to apply for every type of financial aid – scholarships, grants, and loans. The what, when and how for everything. There are even summary tables outlining all aspects of scholarships and loans for easy all-in-one viewing.
