Many students feel that education after high school is simply out of reach financially. You might think you can't go because you parents can't afford it. Below are some commonly asked questions about planning for college:
*How can I afford to go to college?
There is money, called financial aid, to help you pay for college. Financial aid comes from different places: the Federal Government, the State you live in, the college you choose, educational associations, and financial institutions such as Three Rivers Federal Credit Union. Your chances of getting financial aid are as good as anyone ease's. All you have to do is plan ahead and apply for it.
*Can I get financial aid without high grades?
Probably, since most financial aid is based on need, not grades. You and your family have to show you need help paying for college.
*I have to pay financial aid back, right?
There are three basic types of financial aid: grants, work-study, and loans. Grants are like gifts because you don't have to pay them back. Some grants, called scholarships, are based on grades, athletic skill, and other abilities. Work-study is a part-time job, usually on campus, that helps you earn money to pay for your college expenses. Loans must be paid back after you graduate or leave college. Most students obtain a "package" mixing all three types of financial aid.
*What if I want to go to an expensive college?
Financial aid can help you afford even the most expensive college. That's because aid is based on the difference between what a college costs and what the federal or college formula used to determine aid says a family can pay. So, you could be eligible for more aid at an expensive college, while the amount of money you pay should stay the same.

US Taxation of life insurance
Taxation of life insurance in the United StatesPremiums paid by the policy owner are normally not deductible for federal and state income tax purposes.
Proceeds paid by the insurer upon death of the insured are not included in gross income for federal and state income tax purposes;however, if the proceeds are included in the "estate" of the deceased, it is likely they will be subject to federal and state estate and inheritance tax.
Cash value increases within the policy are not subject to income taxes unless certain events occur. For this reason, insurance policies can be a legal and legitimate tax shelter wherein savings can increase without taxation until the owner withdraws the money from the policy. On flexible-premium policies, large deposits of premium could cause the contract to be considered a "Modified Endowment Contract" by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which negates many of the tax advantages associated with life insurance. The insurance company, in most cases, will inform the policy owner of this danger before applying their premium.
Tax deferred benefit from a life insurance policy may be offset by its low return in some cases. This depends upon the insuring company, type of policy and other variables . Also, other income tax saving vehicles (i.e. Individual Retirement Account (IRA), may be better alternatives for value accumulation. This will depend on the individual and their specific circumstances.
The tax ramifications of life insurance are complex. The policy owner would be well advised to carefully consider them. As always, the United States Congress or the state legislatures can change the tax laws at any time.
