Helpful HOT Careers Information Resources
Websites and Publications

With access to the web, you can check out the many sites available to you. We do not recommend one over the other and advise you to check these resources thoroughly before any fees for services are paid. Contact your school counselor for other financial aid and career resources.

Your best source of financial aid information is your high school counselor or financial aid officer. Schedule an appointment, meet with them, gather information, and ask questions about your options.
