aid toolkit aimed at helping guidance counselors and others who advise
students with college applications.

. It has details about applying for financial aid and repaying student
loans. It also has other information such as documents advisers can download
and information about professional development information.
It is one of the measures the Obama administration has taken to make the
college application process go smoother.
