Here are some tips from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Au- thority (KHEAA): • File the Free Appli- cation for Federal Stu- dent Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after October 1. • Check with the financial aid offices of the schools to which you’ve applied to determine if they require any forms other than the FAFSA. • Look for scholarships using KHEAA’s “Affording Higher Edu- cation” and a free online scholarship search. You can find a link to a free search site under the “Paying for College” tab on www.kheaa.com. • Attend any college fairs and financial aid seminars offered at your high school or in your area. If a company charges a fee for helping with applications, remember that you can do that yourself for free. If you decide to pay for help, make sure the company is reputable by checking with the state Attorney General’s office or the Better Business Bureau in your area, as well as the area where the firm is located. KHEAA is the state agency that administers Kentucky’s student financial aid programs, including the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES). Its sister agency, the Ken- tucky Higher Education Student Loan Corpora- tion (KHESLC), offers Advantage Loans to help students and parents pay for college or to refinance student loans.
