Worried about Financial Aid for Your College-Bound Senior Amid
COVID-19?
|
|
- The FAFSA form remains open until June 30, 2020. Any student or family who has not yet completed a FAFSA may still do so.
- For those who have completed a FAFSA, and whose financial circumstances have changed considerably, we encourage you to reach out to your institution’s financial aid office. Financial aid administrators are afforded a degree of professional judgment under the law for state and federal aid, as well as for institutional aid, and can work with students and families whose incomes have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Need to appeal your financial aid decision? Click HERE for resources and letter templates.

New Research Finds That Character Counts In College Admission
Forbes
It has been said that character is who one is, or what one does when nobody is watching. When it comes to college admission, everyone seems to be watching and according to a recent survey, character counts. This week, the
National Association for College Admission Counseling
(NACAC) and the
Character Collaborative
released a
research brief
entitled Character and the Admission Process, which includes results from a survey of trends in college admission. For the first time, the annual survey added a section on the use of character attributes in the application process, and the results highlight what many professionals have known all along: character attributes are a factor in admission.

Applying to college can be a stressful process, but being aware of what mistakes to avoid can help ease the burden for students.
What are some mistakes that drive college admissions staffers crazy – and sometimes send an application to the rejection pile? U.S. News asked pros from around the country to weigh in on what they'd prefer applicants not do. Here are some of the highlights.
