I think some of the biggest myths about financial aid are that you have to make a certain income to be able to qualify. It isn’t really about a certain income. Families are evaluated with all of their individual, unique circumstances — the number in college, the size of the family, type of income. I think another myth is that [of] assets. So, my parents own a home, or you have saved money as a student from working and that’s going to penalize you, or simply not believing you can afford to go to college. The whole purpose of financial aid is to bridge the gap between what you and your family have as a resource and the cost of the school that you’re looking at.
