I'm Back!

To All,

It has been a LONG time since I have blogged last and thought it best to get back at it for 2010! This newest version of the FAFSA form is quite simple to complete and for the most part, really has the same stuff involved (assets, income, dates of birth and so on). I will be anxious to see the award letters that come as a result of the newest "simplified" version!

It never ceases to amaze me that the gap is growing in leaps and bounds annually between what parent's can legitimately afford and what the gov't and schools believe they can afford!

recently I had a parent who's student scored in the top 2 SAT scores in his HS senior class! Yet, it was not even enough to pick up a Scholarship at IU because he missed it by less than 200 pts! What is comical is that the school's attitude is that he did a great job and won't have any problem in getting into college!
THEY JUST DON'T GET IT!!!
It was never about just getting admitted.....it was about getting into the best position to be able to afford to go!

What good is it to graduate HS with dreams and aspirations and then NOT be able to afford to attend!

Make it a better day for someone else!
