Many Alaskans who are thinking about education after high school wonder how to pay for it but find it difficult to find reliable information that is organized and helpful. So, you will be glad to know that Senator Murkowski has updated her website to provide good resources for students, prospective students, and parents who are searching for a way to pay for college and career education.
At http://murkowski.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=FinancialAid you will find resources for planning ahead, different sources and types of financial aid, ways to turn public service into a postsecondary education, and options for repaying federal student loans.
Keep in mind that the deadline to submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid is June 30th. The deadline to apply for the Alaska Education Grant is April 15th.
