Our school had someone come and speak from MEFA. It was a good talk but I did not learn anything that the “financial aid” session of any college tour taught. Fill out the FAFSA, fill out the CSS Profile. The guidance counsellors emailed scholarship applications that came through them to everyone. Other than that, there was nothing. They could not advise anything about which schools give good aid and which don’t. The counseling office was really useless in that regard.
