Getting a handle on all the ins and outs of financial aid-the paperwork, the deadlines, what's available, when do I get it, who do I talk to, and a thousand other questions-can be overwhelming at first. That's one of the reasons we created this website. You'll find answers to most of your questions right here. But sometimes, you'll need or want to talk to a live person about your own particular situation. Thankfully, help is readily available. If you're still in high school, your high school guidance office is a good place to start. And most colleges have financial aid counselors, who are experts on pretty much everything that has to do with financial aid, such as what aid is available at their school, and how to apply, who to turn to in case you're denied, etc. They're there to answer your questions, and to help you get the aid you need to attend their school. You should probably call their office before going to visit them. Although many of them are staffed to handle walk in clients, some financial aid counseling offices may require that you make an appointment first. But don't hesitate to avail yourself of there services.

Note: The website FinaidFacts.org also has some great information about financial aid counseling.
