Even though we're cruising toward the middle of July (eek! "middle of July" = "almost August") and beyond Test Essay Prep's "June is College Financial Aid Month," I think we should continue the conversation!
The article "10 Tips for Getting More Financial Aid" is a good one because it puts some of the things you might have seen about Financial Aid into perspective.

For example, if you feel ashamed asking for financial aid, don't. Please don't. Millions of students & families can't afford to pay for a college education, but it doesn't mean it's out of reach. In my family, we have a sort of motto, "the least someone could say is no" - and I think it works well here. If you're worried what someone will think of you for seeking financial aid, then they're not there to help you and they're not your friends.
