Welcome.
As you know, much of education today is financed by student loans and other financial aid. The process can be daunting, filing FAFSA /CSS forms, understanding offer letters, deciding which loans/grants to accept, and will they be available all 4 years, understanding loan repayment options, meeting all those deadlines, and even understanding the true cost of for-profit colleges. We offer you resources and options on this site to help de-mystify the process. If you find the site beneficial, please tell someone, and share your own experiences to benefit the nation.
