Paying for College Program – Florida Education Channel

districts to air the Florida Education Channel’s “Paying for College"
program on the dates below. The program features interviews with college
students, guidance counselors, financial-aid experts, and college
admissions counselors. The program also provides vital information
necessary to understand how financial aid, grants, scholarships and loans
work.
According to a recent poll, too many low-income and minority students in
Florida do not go to college because they think cost is too great an
obstacle. The program, "Paying for College” provides important information
and tips for middle and high school students on applying and paying for
college.
