Publications
The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation has launched “Start Here. Get There,” a campaign for Financial Aid Awareness Month, January 25 – February 25. Our goal during this month is to educate students and their families about the importance of filing the FAFSA in a timely manner – the first step in applying for student financial aid.
This page offers materials about the FAFSA, financial aid in general, and New York’s Financial Aid Awareness Month. Visit HESC.org for additional valuable information about planning, paying and applying for college.
