1. Submit your financial aid application such as FAFSA or CSS profile as early as possible. Most colleges award financial aid first come first serve basis.
2. Even if your prospective college does not meet your financial needs, don't just give up yet.
3. Visit your college and meet with a financial aid counselor. Express to her/him that this college is your first choice and you definitely want to attend.
4. Explain your family's financial situation (make sure to bring supporting documents for verification) and ask for additional help from the college.
Caution: You are there to inform your financial condition and not to bargain. DO NOT BEG!
5. If you can't visit your college, write a letter to describe your circumstance in detail and send it along with supporting documents.
