Have been taking some college classes this year..... only 3 hrs per semester plus work full time Im seriously thinking abt going back to college full time next fall..... and either nor working at all of working part time Can I get any financial aid? Where do i start on all this?

A: The application procedure for financial aid is the same for everyone, regardless of age. You will need to submit the 2005-2006 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The paper version is available in high schools, colleges, and libraries. It can also be done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Of course you also have to go through the admission application process. In addition to the FAFSA, you should check with the financial aid office at the school you will attend. Many colleges have their own additional requirements (e.g., College Board's PROFILE, institutional applications, etc.). When I was the Director of Financial Aid at a large public university, we allowed students over 65 to attend free of charge. So as much as we would like to think there is a consistent process, it is not. .
