Faculty, please help us get students ready for next year by talking about financial aid now
by Kathleen McCoy |
The University of Alaska disburses more than $102 million per year and we want each student to catch his/her share.
FACT: This year it's easier than ever to apply and there is more money than ever.
FACT: More than 60 percent of our degree-seeking students have some type of financial aid.
FACT: February is the best time to apply for financial aid for next year because some of the grants and work study go fast.
FACT: There is financial aid for individuals/families at all income levels: even the loans are generally a better deal.
FACT: Even if their taxes aren't done, they can complete the application.
Students/families should go to www.fafsa.gov and spend the 15-45 minutes to complete the online application.
