SENIORS - Need help understanding your Financial Aid Award Letters from colleges and universities?

Watch these three Khan Academy videos that help explain the various parts of an award letter, the terms used and what types of loans are best to take (if you choose to take loans). There are also additional resources if you would like to appeal your financial aid award.

If you have any questions after watching the videos, please email Mrs. Alfaro at galfaro@losal.org
