Whats the deal in collage with finacning aid?

Answer 1

The deal? Specifically, what do you want to know. You fill out an application and if you are low enough income, you qualify for aid. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov

Answer 2

College financial aid directly from the college is based on the FAFSA form unless it is a merrit based scholarship. FAFSA will help you tap into need based financial aid from both the federal government and the college itself. However, there are several more sources for financing a college education.

First, 35 states offer a website that allows a student to apply for consideration of college application and a grant for college financial aid. It can be located on Google.com and Yahoo.com. However, if your state is among the 15 states, search your state government's website for college grants.

Second, check with your high school guidance office if still attending high school because they have a list of local scholarships for high school students.

Third, check with the college's financial aid office and website for any private scholarships from companies and organizations.

Fourth, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information you enter into a form on their website.

Good luck!
