We're not rich, and you're probably not either. College costs are mounting at an alarming rate so we offer these links to help you find the money for your education:

FAFSA
Don't let your parents forget to fill out the FAFSA form. This is the first step and opens the door for any federal aid. Even if you feel that your family is too affluent, do this anyway. You never know.
Recommended by the Campus Brain staff.

The United States Department of Education
All the answers to your financial aid questions are found at the Department of Education website.  Topics include preparing, choosing, applying, funding, attending and repaying. Your tax dollars at work!

The Student Guide
This website explains student financial aid programs the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid (FSA) office administers. The first few pages summarize this aid and the process involved. The rest of the publication discusses in detail what you need to know. Recommended by the Campus Brain staff.

FastWeb
FastWeb,  the Internet's leading scholarship search service, helps students make the decisions that shape their lives: choosing a college, paying for college and finding jobs during and after college. And it's all free.
Recommended by the Campus Brain staff.

Scholarship Experts
ScholarshipExperts.com is the only pay for scholarship service we recommend. Their database is up to date, the fee is affordable and they adhere to a strict privacy policy.

Loan Consolidation Services
Want more money in your pocket? Consolidate your student loans with the Next Student service.
In the same vein unless your student loan interest rates are 2.25% you are paying too much!!! So say the people at Financial Aid. These consolidators reduce your payments by reducing interest rates.

Federal Money Retriever
Government GRANTS? Find out more... CLICK HERE! The federal money retriever software is recommended by the Wall Street Journal and is used by an impressive list of schools, major corporations and non profits as well as individuals. If you are seeking a grant, this is a good place to start.

E-LOAN
E-LOAN offers student loans at very low rates and they have teamed up with the Princeton Review to bring you the latest information on how to obtain student loans and other types of financial aid for education.

Ameridebt
Ameridebt is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting consumers that are having difficulties with their personal finances. If that's you, they can help.

Campus Brain is a service of M Web Builders who invite you to visit:

The absolute best resource for finding financial aid can be found right on your campus in your school's financial aid center. They have the expertise, experience and the commitment to help you in all phases of your search. Be proactive. Ask as many questions as is necessary of your counselor to get yourself on track.

Credit cards are designed to be used as vehicles for short term loans involving purchases.  The interest rates are much higher on credit card debt than for other types of loans. If you get into a bind do not use credit card debt to finance your education.

 

Beware The Scammer

Let NextStudent save you money!!


Each year students and their families loose millions of dollars buying into scholarship scams. Here are the tell tale signs of a scam:

1) A scholarship is guaranteed.

2) The scholarship service does all the work.

3) The scholarship information is not available from anyone else.

4) You are told that you are a finalist for a competition that you can't remember entering.

If you feel that you have been a victim of a scam, the College Scholarship Fraud Prevention Act enhances protection against fraud in student financial assistance. To file a complaint, or for free information, call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or visit www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscam
