After you have the info from FAFSA and have gone to see the financial aid office, only 30 feet down the hall is the advising office (W207). You can walk in almost any time during a regular weekday. Please refer to the schedule previously mentioned above; this will enable you to have a chance to sit down with an advisor and rack their brains with questions. I’d write down questions first, have them with you and ready so you don’t forget something you wanted to address or to get their recommendations for which funding programs you may qualify for. After your incredible helpful advisor has pointed you in the right direction, she/he will help you figure out which forms need to be completed and assist with completion if needed. At LWIT, you do not need to feel intimidated by the big bad scary “College” because it’s almost as if they take you by the hand and take you to where you need to be and tell you what you need to do.
