With scholarships and grants you could cover quite a bit of the funds needed.
Here are a few places to start:
- Fill out FAFSA. A golden rule for every college student is to fill out the FAFSA or Federal Application for Student Aid. This is the mega hub of financial aid and a clearinghouse of sorts. Apply once, and your aid will be delivered to the school of your choice. Don’t be late, or you’ll miss out on all the benefits.
- See if you qualify for state aid and scholarships. Each year or at allotted time periods, States open their applications for grants and assistance.
- Research businesses and foundations. There are all sorts of grants and scholarships just waiting for you to find them. Every penny helps!
- Apply for financial aid through your college. Sometimes colleges offer special tuition rates or assistance to students with disabilities or in low-income families. Fill out an application in your school’s financial office to see if you qualify.
Even small amounts of funds can equal big payoffs when it comes to paying for college. Apply, apply, apply. You may bank more money than you imagined for your education.
All the best in your endeavor
