Applying for financial aid can feel like taking another college course—confusing, frustrating, and full of obstacles. But Professor G shares a powerful strategy: document everything, follow up persistently, and demand clarity.

Here’s how to ensure your financial aid is handled correctly:

  • Keep detailed records—dates, names, submission statuses
  • Follow up at least every 3 weeks
  • Ask for grant specifics: amounts, usage, and eligibility
  • If denied aid without a valid reason, escalate your concerns
  • File a formal complaint if necessary—colleges cannot retaliate against you!

Many students lose financial aid simply because they don’t follow up. Don’t let that be you! Stay organized, stay informed, and keep pushing for the support you deserve.
