'Credit crunch' won't affect financial aid

Despite some troubling reports in the media, students will be able to borrow federal student loans and receive financial aid this fall. The federal government and student loan companies have assured colleges they will not allow recent developments
in the credit markets to prevent students from obtaining loans. Get more details in this brochure , produced by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.

Apply now for fall aid

Are you attending college next fall? Then it is time to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). FAFSA on the Web is the fastest and most accurate method of applying for financial aid, which includes grants, work-study and student loans. Even though there is no application deadline, aid is awarded until resources are exhausted, so it’s best to apply early. And don't forget -- Financial Aid First!
