Financial Aid for College?

[NGBS]

What are people using to pay for college now-a-days? I remember when I was applying for school 6 years ago I lucked out and received money from the university. However, I know in these hard economic times, that a penny saved is a penny earned and I would like to get more insight. The impetus to this is my current employment with the National Guard. I did ROTC in high school, but now I work more within the National Guard's marketing sphere. For anyone who is interested in the Guard I thought I'd share this interactive application called My Life. My Life is a visualization tool that will help you plan your future, learn how the National Guard can compliment Civilian life and enhance your overall quality of living. The application allows you to choose your “Next Steps” through life, including training with the Guard, and features an interactive “LifeTime” achievement calculator that shows how certain decisions affect you financially and professionally. If you give it a try, let me know what you think.
