IEFA

International Education Financial Aid


To Whom It May Concern:

I am an 18 year old at Eckerd College. I am writing to concerning the pitfalls of college
independence. I wanted to thank you for how much your organization helps young adults in today's society.

As the International Education Financial Aid, I understand that your organization
provides resources for students so that they can learn more about international financial
aid. IEFA is a great resource to help students find the right financial aid for them. Financial management is one of the most common struggles faced by college students, and I have one theory why.

I believe that parents neglect to teach their children the importance of financial
management. I think that students are too used to relying on their parents for money that
when they are living on their own, money becomes a big struggle. I know I can personally
relate to this because as a freshman, I find that spending money is easier than saving
it. Do you have any other opinions?

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,


Tara Gavenas
