Fund Your Future
In these uncertain economic times, it is more important than ever for students and families to understand all the options available to help them pay for college. EdFund offers a national version and six state-specific versions of the Fund Your Future financial aid workbook for 2010-11: Arizona, California, Hawai'i/Pacific Islands, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Each publication provides descriptions of the major types of federal aid—including grants, loans and work-study—while the state publications also include financial aid programs unique to each state. Both the California and national editions are produced in Spanish as well as English.
Geared toward high school juniors and seniors and incoming college students the workbooks offer:
- a step-by-step guide to applying for student aid
- tips for completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA
- at-a-glance charts summarizing key financial aid and federal loan programs
- a financial aid checklist organized by season
- financial aid options that are not based on financial need
- worksheets for student budgeting and evaluating financial aid offers
- a handy list of helpful Web sites on the back cover
- an easy-to-follow layout with modern, four-color design features
The workbooks cover federal student and parent loans, and what it means to accept a loan, including important rights and responsibilities. Also available is the Fund Your Future brochure, providing a condensed overview of the major financial aid programs.
