Paying for College
"How will I pay for college?" This is probably one of the most common questions you've heard from your students and their parents. And having as many resources as possible available to help you answer this question is very important.
As a continued supporter of Making It Count's in-school presentations, we wanted to let you know about the newly-updated Making College Financial Planning Count online tool. This free resource provides a comprehensive, interactive overview of the entire college financing process.
By visiting elearning.makingitcount.com, you, your students and their parents will have access to:
- The electronic
College FundPath TM Worksheet, which allows you to create a customized college funding strategy for your family.
- Valuable tips and deadlines for the FAFSA.
- The most up-to-date information about the types of financial aid that are available, including scholarships and grants.
Here are some great ways you can share this resource with your student and parents:
- Distribute the e-learning link via email
- Include the link on your school website
- Provide the link in direct mail pieces
- Provide the link in your school's newspaper
You can also let parents and students know that by visiting elearning.makingitcount.com they can register to win $1,000 in the Bank of AmericaGrab-a-Grand Giveaway. See Official Rules. Thank you again for your continued support of Making It Count and its programs.
Sincerely,
