INFORMATION about COLLEGE AID
Some parents came to us and asked us for help in figuring out how to plan for college and how to find ways of financial aid to help pay for college for their children. We are not experts in the field of college planning or financial aid, but we did some research and this is what we have come up with to help steer our families in the right direction. You can contact the websites listed below for information about figuring out the path to college for your child. You can also contact middle school and high school counselors once your child is in middle school and high school. There are also local companies, institutions, and banks which you can contact to set up a consultation, usually for a fee. Lastly you can go to the district website at www.sandi.net on the home page to try to ask for help.
