E-Library

Explaining the college financial aid process can be difficult, but the e-Library is your source of articles and hand-outs written to help make it easier for students and families to navigate the process.

High school counselors, financial aid professionals, legislators, media editors and writers may download and freely use these articles in newspapers, magazines, newsletters, websites or other publications directed to students and families who are, or will soon be applying for college aid. Each article includes a print version that can be downloaded and used as a hand-out for financial aid awareness events.
