What Parents  Need to Know About College Financing:

The million-dollar question for parents is, how can my family & I qualify for aid? 
Being that every family's situation is different both academically & financially,
our answer is not universal.  So we have collected some of the most recent
statistics & figures to help you answer that question for your family and dispel
the common myths:

'College is too expensive' or 

'Parents income is too high for financial aid'

Hopefully you can identify a question that relates to you and your situation.

Join us at Green College Tour - Fall '09 for a comprehensive view of the
financial landscape for both public and private institutions. 

However, if you can't wait until the spring, go to: www.collegefundsnow.com

Over the past 2 years colleges' endowments have grown, allowing them to offer
more aid (www.wikipedia.com).
