Talkin' Smack-a-demic
Whoever said, “Tis better to give than to receive,” was surely speaking in terms of holiday cheer, and not student loan debt. This year amidst your much-deserved winter laziness, don’t get so lazy that you miss out on important financial aid and priority admissions deadlines. FAFSA season officially opens in just a couple of weeks—January 1!—and there’s lots of other planning to keep thrifty juniors and seniors busy in the meantime.
Be a productive elf this winter, and get ready to kick off 2012—and your college career—with a sled-load of cash!
