SACRAMENTO, CA - JAN. 12, 2010 - Looking for an edge in the scramble for financial
aid, more students are jumping in early to get help preparing their 2010-2011 federal
student aid application (FAFSA) to maximize their chances for a piece of the $168
billion now available to pay for college.
Answering this year's 130 income, asset, and dependency questions is often challenging,
especially for high school seniors and their parents facing the application for
the first time. Nearly everyone regardless of income or circumstances is eligible
for aid from the more than 8,000 programs that offer grants, work-study, and low-interest
loans.

SACRAMENTO, CA – JAN. 6, 2009 – The student financial aid season started January
1, and early indications are that competition for the estimated $144 billion of
federal, state, and institutional aid is likely to be fierce in the 2009-10 academic
year.
“During the first five days of the new financial aid season, we saw a more than
40 percent increase in the number of families seeking assistance compared with last
year,” said Craig V. Carroll, chief executive officer of
Student Financial Aid Services, Inc., the nation’s oldest and largest non- governmental student
financial aid advisor. “The demand for student aid has been climbing as the recession
batters family budgets, parents’ jobs are eliminated, and self-employed parents
experience business downturns. Given the trend we have been seeing since November,
we expect this season to break records for the number of college students competing
for financial aid.”
