February is Financial Aid Awareness Month

To heighten awareness of the availability of financial aid for students and the importance of filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is again marketing February as Financial Aid Awareness Month.

To find out how to get help in filling out the FAFSA--in English or Spanish--visit www.CollegeforTexans.com or go directly to the FAFSA website at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings cautions potential college students and their families that choosing a college is one of the most important and expensive decisions a family can make. I recommend visiting the sites listed above for information on how you can receive financial aid for your college education.
