February is already half over!  Time really flies after the New Year… before you know it, you or your kids we be going to college.  Hopefully you got the best Financial Aid package possible.  I wanted to provide some important links today, as February is a very important month in the Financial Aid world.  Many schools are at the end of FAFSA submission, so you better check with the schools you are applying to. If you didn’t take my advice and you waited until now… you’re at the end of the list and there might not be as much $$$$$ for you.  In any event, here are some important links you can use:

1. Department of education’s FAFSA Site: All about the FAFSA.

2. Tips for a Winning application: Help with writing scholarship applications.

3. Maximizing Your Scholarship Eligibility: Know how to “Type” yourself.

4. A Guide To Student Loans: Brought to you by msnbc.

5. A Student Loan Glossary of Terms: What you need to know.

6. A State-By-State Financial Aid Resource Guide: Find out what your state offers.

7. City Year: $4,725 available for volunteering.

8. College Goal Sunday: Great for lower-income families.
