There are so many issues around financial aid and seniors may seem overwhelmed. The tool, known as Lend E-D-U Financial Aid Hotline, is a free text-in service designed to quickly answer any question related to financial aid, grants, scholarships, and student loans.

Use the hotline number at (302) 278-4037, and you will receive a detailed response from the team within 15 minutes.

We spoke to Mr. Maschka about financial aid and how important it is.
