Right now students bound for college and training programs next fall are in various stages of the financial aid application process. Many have applied to schools and have submitted their financial aid applications, while others are still working on completing all their paperwork.

Join VSACs next VSAC Shows You How webinar to learn what happens "behind the curtain" after you submit your financial aid applications so you can be better prepared to understand your financial aid offers when you get them. VSAC's financial aid experts will explain:
• What costs you'll need to plan for and the differences between advertised costs and what students actually pay.
• How schools decide what they estimate you can afford to pay.
• The financial aid programs available to help you maximize every free dollar you can get (called "gift aid") and minimize your need to borrow (in education loans).
• What steps you may need to take after you submit your financial aid applications (while you wait for your financial aid package to arrive).

Participate via Zoom or at VSAC's Facebook page. The event will be recorded for later viewing. Register here:
