FINANCIAL AID Bridge the Financial Aid Gap Stephen Borkowski (www.fastweb.com/fastweb/resources/articles/index/104181? id=) For many college-bound students the anticipation of higher education is overshadowed by financial anxieties. With tuition rising faster than financial aid dollars, more students are finding gaps in their financial aid packages. The gap appears when the student's expected family contribution (EFC) plus the school's financial aid package don't equal the cost of attendance. This gap appears as unmet need on a student's financial aid award letter. How can families meet unmet need? Appeal the financial aid offer. If the college's package of loans, grants, scholarships and work-study come up short, meet with the financial aid office. Write a letter to request a meeting and explain why the school should consider adjusting your aid offer. Some pointers for the meeting:  Prepare documentation for review in support of your case, particularly circumstances not revealed on your FAFSA.  Demonstrate that your family's financial circumstances have changed dramatically since you filed your FAFSA (i.e. death, unemployment, medical expenses).  Be courteous when requesting additional assistance. Approach the aid officer as an ally, not an adversary. Look for scholarships. Expand your search to on- line as well as offline sources. Check with your local
