Thinking about college? Cast a wide Net, by Joyce Kasman Valenza.
The following comments appeared in a review of The Internet
Guide for College-Bound Students, a book written by Kenneth
Hartman and published by the College Board.
"Hartman had nothing but praise for the FinAid Page. ... The
project is now monumental. Kantrowitz's award-winning Web site,
FinAid: The Financial Aid Information Page, is the largest and most
popular site of its sort on the Web. A true Netizen, his hobby is
continued out of pure altruism and eats up forty hours a week. ... Far
more than a directory, all of his pointers are carefully annotated.
There are glossaries, overview articles, and an impressive group of
calculators. Kantrowitz's calculators are "free, accurate, and
completely confidential." They do such wonders as: project future
college costs, estimate life insurance needs and the amount of debt a
student could reasonably afford given the expected starting salary for
a major. ... FinAid has received rave reviews from Time, the Wall
Street Journal, Money and USA Today. ... The site features a panel of
professional advisers who volunteer to help answer students' and
parents' financial-aid questions. ... Kantrowitz's altruism extends to
his latest project - working with the Federal Trade Commission to
track scholarship scams, which he notes are rampant."
"The World Wide Web can ease a student's search for scholarships.
The FinAid web site at http://wwww.finaid.org/ provides a host of
information about financial aid. The site, which is sponsored by the
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, includes
links to more than 500 web pages."
FTC cracks down on scholarship search scams, by Dennis
Kelly.
"... But Mark Kantrowitz, a Pittsburgh resident who runs a Web site
on financial aid (http://www.finaid.org/), estimates there are 100 to
200 scam firms that have bilked 350,000 students nationwide. He bases
that on the volume of inquiries he sees on his site. ..."
Signs of a shady operation.
"... Mark Kantrowitz, who runs an Internet Web site on financial
aid out of his Pittsburgh home, also says to beware the standard pitch
of these companies that there is $6.6 billion in financial aid that
goes unclaimed each year. That number is based on a 20-year-old study
and refers largely to college money from private employers available
only to their employees and not the general public, Kantrowitz says.
The $6.6 billion figure "is a myth", he says. "My impression is
there's less than a couple of million dollars unclaimed each year." ..."

Internet can help find school funding, by Wendell
Cayton.
"I want to tell you about a most remarkable Web page where you can
find just about everything you need to know about financial aid and
financing for your children's college education. I found this page by

found at least 10 sites dedicated to discussions on EFC, or the
methodology approved by the federal government for qualification for
financial aid. The best Web site in the bunch is
http://www.finaid.org/. This site is a free collection of student
financial aid information maintained by Mark Kantrowitz, the author of
The Prentice Hall Guide to Scholarships and Fellowships for Math
and Science Students. The page is sponsored by the National
Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. ... This site
contains an excellent example of an EFC estimator. This is the first
place you should visit. By following the instructions, you can quickly
calculate if your financial situation qualifies for financial aid. ...
I found his detailed coverage on scholarship and financial aid scams
to be particularly interesting and a "must read" for parents and
students. ... It is one of the best examples of how the Internet works

"One of the best sources on financial aid is probably sitting in

find more information than you will ever need.
It's even easy to find, thanks to Mark Kantrowitz, a graduate student
at Carnegie-Mellon University. He has created a Web page filled with
good information as well as links to Web pages offered by
universities, the US Department of Education, and others.
To find the page, simply type in the words "Mark Kantrowitz" and
"financial aid" on whatever browser you use to navigate the Web.
This will get you to several financial aid sites on the Web. Click on
whatever topic pleases you, but be sure to check out "Mark's Picks",
Kantrowitz's list of the best financial aid information.
Also take advantage of various calculators he has provided. These let
you figure out, for example, how much a school is likely to say your
family must contribute to pay for college.
These sites will help you see that you can find a way to pay for
college. Kantrowitz himself is a perfect example. He won about
$250,000 in various forms of aid to pay for his graduate and
undergraduate schooling."
