<p>Since I am relatively new to the U.S. I don't know much about applying for fin aid. I'm a hs senior and was wondering what I need to do in order to secure any fin aid? Also when do I need to apply? Help me!</p>
<p>You need to take the time to read the basics on your own. There's info you can link to from the home page of CC. There are threads pinned to the top of the financial aid forum here. There are books about financial aid that you can obtain at libraries, your GC's office or local bookstores. </p>
<p>You also need to look at the financial aid web sites of colleges that interest you.</p>
<p>After you do that research, use CC's financial aid board to get your follow-up questions answered. Expecting people here to explain everything to you about financial aid is unrealistic. Do the basic research yourself first.</p>
<p>um.. a little basic explanation please?</p>
<p>Check out the Financial Aid forum.</p>
