Extra financial aid for students with out of work parents

Help is now available for students whose parent has lost their job.  

The Financial Aid Office is offering students, with an out of work parent, the opportunity to fill out an Expected Family Contribution for.  One or both of the students parents has to have been out of work for seix weeks and a minimum of 40 percent of the family income has to have been lost.

"I think this is a great thing for students," journalism senior, Brandon Wheeler said. "I recently had to move back home because money was tight."

However, the EFC form has to be sent into the Federal Financial Aid Office to be approved and monetary aid is not guaranteed.
