#039 – We continue covering two elements of the senior year checklist that have everything to do with financial aid. It is in the senior year when students apply for financial aid. Different colleges and universities have different financial aid eligibility requirements, and they must be taken into consideration when applying for financial aid. These include, but are not limited to Grade Point Average and number units taken during a quarter or semester. Jankel provides an explanation of the different financial aid elements that may be available to students, including, different grants, scholarships, work-study jobs, and student loans. She also goes over expectations placed on colleges and universities that receive Title IV funds, by the U.S. Department of Education. We cover basic eligibility criteria for financial aid, including the need for male applicants to register with the Selective Service System. Additionally, provide examples of the differences in financial aid eligibility requirements of two popular universities in Southern California. These are UCLA and California State University, Los Angeles. We finish the episode by going over some of the steps to take to apply for financial aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
