College is the beginning of the rest of your life, so why not start your life off on the right foot? With over 180 undergraduate programs to choose from, Andrews University has what you're looking for! And yes, you can afford it!

Jerri Gifford, Andrews student financial services director, and her staff will be visiting an academy near you, in February, to help you de-mystify what appears to be a complicated web of paperwork. Financial Aid 202 Workshops will provide 2004–2005 financial aid packets and cost sheets, a discussion on how best to use the FAFSA to your advantage, and how to meet the priority processing dates, so that you can be financially cleared before you even move the first pair of shoes into your dorm room. Your ID card will work at the bookstore and the cafeteria, and you won't have to wait in any lines! These workshops will last no more than an hour and will answer any questions you may have about paying for an Andrews University education.

Coming to an academy near you: Andrews Academy, Feb. 4; Battle Creek Academy, Feb. 3, 7:00 p.m.; Broadview Academy, Feb. 1, 7:00 p.m.; Great Lakes Adventist Academy, Feb. 8, 1:00 p.m.; Hinsdale Academy, Feb. 3, 7:00 p.m.; Indiana Academy, Feb. 15; Peterson-Warren Academy, to be arranged; and Wisconsin Academy, Feb. 7, 6:00 p.m. If the academy nearest you has no date or time listed, simply call (800) 253-2874 and they will give you that information.

You can do this! Student financial services wants to make this process as easy as possible for you.
