Financial Aid 101

Parents of juniors and seniors at Islip High School learned the ins and outs of applying for financial aid for colleges. The program, Financial Aid 101: Everything You Need to Know About Financial Aid, was sponsored by the guidance department.
   
Rafael Villalona from St. Joseph’s College walked parents through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) process, answered questions and concerns parents had, and differentiated the types of aid available including grants, scholarships, and work study. A seasoned administrator, who has worked on both sides of the financial aid process, gives Mr. Villalona a well-rounded knowledge of what colleges look for and need when awarding financial aid.
