Financial Aid | University Financial Aid – Some Fafsa Insights
As soon as high school is over, and you have some options as far as your higher education is concerned, the economical issue must be inexorably considered. That is the moment when you think about the options you have and how you could pay for them. You can choose among grants, scholarships, or loans, but the first thing any student should do is to complete the FAFSA form in order to apply for any federal monetary support later.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be a good way to find how much university financial aid is available for an aspiring college student like you. An assistance package depends on the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the FAFSA form calculates it through a need analysis, based on your financial information concerning earnings and belongings.
There are some requirements to be elected for FAFSA, no matter your income or your family profits. To be a citizen of the United Sates or an eligible non-citizen is required. You need to provide a valid social security number and you should have a high school certificate. If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 25, you need to be in the United States Selective Service. It is important that you take into account that you should not owe funds to federal grants or have a past record of failure to pay on a student loan.
Finally, it is crucial that you fill your FAFSA form in time, and it is the initial stage in your process of getting financial help. You should remember that genuine and accurate information should be given when you complete the form. Keep in mind that any future economical aid to afford your college education will be based on it. Make a career out of the help that you get.

I'll be praying for you too. I hate dealing with financial aid. It seems like Tieki Rae never really knows her financial aid package until school is about to start. The beginning of her freshman year was exceptionally stressful as the financial aid office expected us to pay $2400 or so before she could start classes. We already had our plane tickets and were ready to take her out to move her into the dorms. It all turned out okay (and we didn't come up with the $2400) and her sophomore year was much smoother. We chuckle because she has friends that never even deal with the financial aid office. Somehow, their parents were smart enough to save $200,000 for their child's college education.

Joe-
Actually, Emily is not in the wrong. Yes, SHHS “participates” in the Archidiocese's financial aid program- however, I have never heard of anyone receiving any substantial “financial aid” if any. However, if you read through the entire Financial Aid webpage, it also states:
Financial Aid
Sacred Heart High School, as a private, independent school is funded by tuition payments. There is no government or Church support. As education costs continue to rise student financial assistance becomes increasingly more important. The school relies on the contributed services of a dedicated staff of religious, on parent and alumni contributions and on fund-raising efforts. The generosity of those involved in these efforts has made it possible for Sacred Heart to offer limited financial aid.
Yes, Sacred Heart is a Catholic school, but lets be clear- it's the Diocese's dime. Financial aid and funding are two different things.
