You can now use your Facebook account to find money to help pay for a college education.  My College Dollars provides information on obtaining scholarships, completing and using your FAFSA to get government money and loans.  The site explains how work study programs can help meet the cost of a higher education.

The site also provides financial aid forms as well as the deadlines students must meet to be considered.  Learn the amount of money a college education is likely to require to help you in planning to meet the cost.
