College & Financial Aid Info

[Willie J Mackey <wjmackey@NETCOM.COM>]

I am involved with presenting a seminar to high school students:

****************************************************************
"Accessing College & Financial Aid Information via the Internet"
****************************************************************

There are plenty of web sites with information available:

  Internet College Exchange
  http://www.usmall.com/college/

  FEDIS/MOLIS
  http://web.fie.com/

  Financial Aid Information Page
  http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/mkant/Public/FinAid/finaid.html

  Historically Black College & University Info
  http://www.com-ed.howard.edu/WebPages/dll/hbcuGateway/allhbcu.htm

  Peterson's Education Center
  http://www.petersons.com:8080/

  Yahoo
  http://www.yahoo.com/text/Education/Financial_Aid/

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The bigger challenge is identifying public places where students
can have internet access.  Does anyone know of such places, i.e.

    - public libraries
    - community college libraries
    - technology centers with free access on certain days

Students involved in this seminar come from the following areas:

I would like to prepare a handout that students can take home
with them on places to go.  A separate account "bdpa@netcom.com"
is set up, so students will be able to do a search while they are
attending the conference.

Any assistance is appreciated!
