In the financial aid game, you are not the baker of the pie--the government, and/or a private college is the baker.The $64,000 question then becomes: how can you get a better pie than you otherwise would get?
(Or in other words, "how can you get more free money and pay less for college"?

You supply the ingredients with which they will make your pie!Therefore, you change your pie by legally changing the ingredients that you supply them! This makes it so that while you may not get all free money, you may get more than you would have. To see what the ingredients are, go to the next page, page 2.
