Dear Black Excel Student and Parent Supporters This is a quick gateway (below) that you should consider immediately to resource help. Each state has aid sources you should inquire about. No question about that! These aid sources cover a wide range of programs, sometimes including resident and fee reductions, "incentive awards," grants, scholarships, loans and more. High school guidance counselors should be keeping you abreast in regard to what's available. Often, however, this has not been the case. This is a BLACK EXCEL tip. Call or write the appropriate state agencies for information packages and assistance. Getting your state "info and financial aid" packages could mean savings to you and your child/students. -Isaac Black, Black Excel S T A T E A I D S O U R C E S ALABAMA Alabama Commission on Higher Education Suite 205 3465 Norman Bridge Road Montgomery, Alabama 36105-2310 State Department of Education Gordon Persons Office Building 50 North Ripley Street Montgomery, Alabama 36130-3901
