Do You Want Free Money for 2012–2013?
Are you a NJ resident who has applied for financial aid? If so, the NJ Higher Education Student Assistance Authority’s (HESAA) needs more information from you.
If you are a NJ resident who has filed a 2012-2013 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you will be required to respond to HESAA’s e-mail request for additional information in order to be considered for NJ state aid programs, such as the Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) and the NJ STARS. Dependent students will be asked to respond to three questions, and independent students will be asked an additional question regarding veterans' benefits.
The e-mail will include a direct link that you can click to begin the process, but why wait? Get a head start on your educational financing and go now to www.hesaa.org, click on the "Report Additional Information for State Aid” link, and enter your username and password. If you do not have one, you will need to create one. Once you have successfully signed into the HESAA system, enter the requested data. It’s never too soon to apply for free money!
