For those who seek financial aid, check out USNews.com, with its feature "Paying for College" posted just today. I work at US News, and we are all so proud of this newly posted Web content. There is SO much available. Kim Clark opens the article: "The average financial aid award accompanying this month's college admission letters leaves a record dollar gap between the total cost of attendance and families' savings. Get advice on finding, conserving, and paying back financial aid."
