Sharing the Wealth

The following is an interesting article that appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer (Public colleges giving more aid to the wealthiest) on how more public colleges are providing more financial aid to wealthy families. As all types of schools become more competitive and want to be perceived as prestigious, this will continue to be the trend.

For students who are almost totally reliant on financial aid, you must educate yourself about the process well before your senior year to maximize your possibilities. In addition to having more time to prepare scholarship applications and write essays, you will likely have the opportunity to earn more money for yourself as well. Securing financial aid is something that shouldn't be taken lightly and requires a great deal of time and effort.
