♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Turning now to education.

The cost of college has increased more than 30% in the last 10 years bringing the average cost for a four-year degree to more than $100,000.

In most cases, the good news is there are a lot of options for financial aid out there.

The bad news is the process can be very confusing.

Tonight, Kentucky Edition contributor Kelsey Starks sits down with a panel of experts from across Kentucky.

Discuss your options.

Breaking down what you need to know about everything from scholarships and grants to student loans and federal student aid.

Now is the time to begin the process for next year's class.

>> If you're a senior in high school or if you're thinking about going to college or technical school in the next academic year.

The fact is one of the most important things are going to fill out because that's how you get in the running for certain institutional aid packages, but also anything from the federal government as well as the state through kheaa, which is where I work.

>> Okay.

how early can people start feeling it out?

It already opened up crack.

Yeah.

So it's it's already open right now to open back on October.

the way that we work in Kentucky is first come first serve.

So that line starts forming in October and we spend a all the money that we have to offer from a state standpoint until it's gone.

>> So earlier, the better to get it done at this point.

So if you're doing it for the very first time, you've never seen it before budget.

Maybe an hour.

Just to get in there and kind of get your feet wet and look at all the different scenarios and questions.

>> If you're returning students to say you're already in college and you're renewing the FAFSA, a lot of that information is already there for you.

So that's one of the convenient factors of the FAFSA is that it will pull demographic information, certain data points that really shouldn't change over the years.

And it will already be there for you such as your, you know, your which high school you went to the college that you selected stuff that really shouldn't change for you.

But you could update if you needed to.

So that information is already there.

So if you're returning to do the FAFSA half hour at the most, okay.

>> And there's also an option to polling data from the IRS tax return.

And if you choose that, you're not manually entering every box and that help speed things along as well.

Very helpful.

Yeah.

>> Iris will basically fill out a good chunk of that half of for you.

So you might as well take advantage of that.

And B, that on the back you know, when colleges start processing the information from that FAFSA, we know it's accurate from an income standpoint because it's coming straight from the source straight from the IRS.

So if they need to verify any information on that FAFSA, that will be a lot quicker.

>> There's a lot more tips coming up on the hour-long special Education Matters tonight at 9 Eastern 8 Central right here on KET about college financial aid.

Hope you'll tune in.
