Need More College Money - New Expenses

Extra expenses have really taxed our ability to contribute to our son's college expenses next fall. He has already been accepted to the state university. Is it too late to find additional funds? - Money Problems
Answer: If your son filed the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), he needs to talk immediately to a university financial-aid counselor about your family's changed financial circumstances. He might be able to get more aid. If he hasn't completed the FAFSA, he must file this form immediately to be considered for any aid. He should also investigate state scholarship programs if the application deadline has not passed. Many states have both financial need and merit aid programs.
