Free college-planning book available for seniors

High school counselors across the state will soon receive free college admissions and financial aid guides to distribute free to seniors. If you have a senior in your family who doesn't get one, encourage him or her to request a copy.

"Getting In," now in its ninth edition, is published by the Alabama Student Loan Program - KHEAA and The Student Loan to help seniors prepare for college. It also has information about costs and admissions requirements for Alabama's two- and four-year colleges and universities. Separate sections cross-reference the majors available in Alabama - one lists majors by school, the other lists majors and shows which schools offer them.

Other sections describe state and federal financial aid programs, online learning opportunities and helpful websites.

High school counselors and high school and public libraries will also receive free copies of "Affording Higher Education," which lists some 4,000 financial aid programs available to Alabama students. This financial aid reference book is published by the Alabama Student Loan Program and The Student Loan People.

Both books are updated each year with help from federal and state officials and from college financial aid officers and college admissions officers in Alabama.
