About EduNext
-
A free magazine about paying for college and the everyday help students can look into, sorted by situation: student parents, working students, commuters, students who are first in their family, veterans and military families, students with disabilities, and students on their own.
-
Each article is written in plain English and checked against the rules published by the agencies and schools that run each program, then reread when a new award year starts. The office named at the end of an article has the final word.
-
No. It is an independent education magazine, a brand of Consumer Response Media. It has no link to the U.S. Department of Education, and it is not owned by any school or lender.
-
No one but your school and the agencies behind each program can decide that. The articles explain how each program works for someone in your situation and name the office to ask.
Using the sections
-
The same rule lands differently depending on your life. A work-hours rule matters to a working student, a child care allowance to a parent, a housing gap over winter break to a student on their own. Each section gathers what applies to one situation.
-
Start with the guide on finding help that fits your situation, then read the sections that describe you. Many students are both a parent and a worker, or both a commuter and first in their family.
-
Six longer pieces that cut across every section: writing a special circumstances letter, keeping the papers every office asks for, planning for a short month, how public benefits and aid fit together, and speaking up for yourself on campus.
The heads-up by email and text
-
An occasional note from EduNext about new articles and guides for your situation and dates in the student aid year worth knowing. It comes by email, and by text if you tick the box.
-
Up to 4 texts a month, and often fewer. Reply STOP to any text and they end, with one message to confirm. Email notes carry a link to stop them too.
-
No. Every article is open to read, and the text box on each form is optional and never ticked for you.
-
No. Your details stay with EduNext. They are never sold, rented or shared with schools, lenders or anyone else for their marketing.
