Fiscal Cliff Deal Impacts Financial Aid

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 will affect how students pay for college. Here are some provisions of the bill that will impact financial aid:

The American Opportunity Tax Credit, which helps defray undergraduate college education expenses by allowing borrowers to deduct up to $2,500 in student loan interest, has been extended for five years.
The Tuition and Fees Deduction, which allows taxpayers to claim up to $4,000 in tuition expenses, which was set to expire at the end of 2011, will continue through the end of 2013.
Some changes to the Coverdell Education Savings Accounts have been made permanent. The contribution limit has been increased to $2,000 from $500 and the account may be used for elementary and secondary school expenses. Higher income phaseouts have also been made permanent.
The deal permanently repeals a five-year limit for deducting up to $2,500 via the Student Loan Interest Deduction.

Choosing A College

Nearly one in three undergraduates who begin studying at a two- or four-year college will move on to at least one other instiitution in pursuit of a degree. As decisions loom, seniors should consider the following factors when choosing a school:

Affordability. On average, tuition increases by 8 percent each year.

Size. How you fare in your high school environment often predicts what you'll prefer in college.

Academic Support. Is the advising office well staffed? How accessible are the faculty members?

Student Life. You have to love where you are, every day. So visit the campus.

Also, find out how many students return as sophomores. Collegeresults.org provides a quick, easy resource.

The most qualified tutors. The best programs. The best results.
