BURBANK -- Burbank students who have not already taken the ACT Inc.
exam -- formerly known as the American College Testing exam -- can still
have access to financial aid to cover the costs of taking the test.
Kristin Crouse, spokeswoman for ACT Inc., said parents and students
interested in obtaining financial aid to take the ACT exam need to
acquire a free application for federal student aid, which will be
available to submit, beginning Jan. 1.
The ACT exam will be offered in Burbank and other California locations
Feb. 9, April 6 and June 8.
To determine eligibility, students need to provide family income
statements from their 2001 earnings. Colleges and universities also use
the application, but might require students to fill out additional forms.
Information on ACT exam financial aid can be found with local school
counselors or by going online to www.fafsa.ed.gov. More information can
be found at www.act.org.
