Hi. I will have a 2012 HS Grad.

From those that have been there, done that - what advice do you have for a newbie?

When/How/Where do I set up financials so everything is in order? Really the only think I know is to look for scholarships, EFC calculator, FAFSA pin # - but that is really for when my student is a senior.

How do I prepare now for what is a very uncertain economic time. I have been a stay at home mom for many years - is that detrimental or beneficial in terms of financial aid?
