Who Wants Pie?
If you don’t ask, you won’t get it. That goes for blueberry pie, and a piece of the financial aid pie. 

If your financial aid package has left you with a bigger than anticipated tuition gap, you may be in line to receive some additional funds…if you have good cause to ask for them. 

Determining whether you qualify for more, and knowing whom and how to make that request can be aided by these articles: “Understanding the Financial Aid Appeal Process,” Tips For Handling Your Student’s Financial Aid Appeal,” and “Sample Financial Aid Appeal Letter.

Shall I Compare Thee…
Introducing our newest tool! 

The name might not be a showstopper, but what it does surely is. Our COMPARE COLLEGE OFFERS tool can help you know which number to compare across all the offers and then see what other students at the same school were offered! 

Try it here (it’s FREE!), and you can thank us later. 
Item of the Week
IKEA goes to college! Well, at least its bags do. According to the parents in our Paying For College 101 Facebook group , these big, blue bags can go from move-in day, to move-out day, and every day in between.

And just like the crumbs from a late-night cookie raid, they can be stashed under your bed and no one will be the wiser

What’s up ahead on the road...
Jay London, The College Advice Guy, and a member of our Road2College Pros Network, will be hosting a webinar: How to Evaluate Financial Aid Offers, tonight at 8:30pm EST. 

If you are at all unsure about what you’ve been offered and how you might be able to negotiate for more, you won’t want to miss this.
