Financial Aid is a pot of money set aside by the government for students who fall under a certain pay bracket. The best website for finding information you will need in order to apply for financial assistance is www.Fafsa.edu. Don't worry, it's a secure government website. You can also apply for a PIN number, that way when you do go to apply for your grants, you will already have the PIN and will not have to wait like everyone else.
Just a quick reference, Financial Aid is a two parter; grants and loans. If you are struggling financially, go for the grants and leave the loans for the very last resort. Student loans take forever to pay back. And if you do get a loan, go with someone like Sallie Mae. They are trustworthy. I hope this helps.

It is really easy! Financial aid is were someone ,usually the government, will help or even pay for school. If it is a private school they most likely help out. Talk to someone at the school they can help better than anyone on here can.

Financial aid is simply aid from the govenment. The government grants you money to attend a college or university. Go to Fafsa.edu

Financial aid. Is money give to you through scholorships, or the college it self. To get financial aid, you probably need volunteer hour, good grades, and parent(s), guardian, who is eligible of receiving aid for you. My friend went to a private high school and he got financial aid because he had 5 brothers. What ever the case you can usually get financial aid. Good Luck, and i hope you get lots of scholorships! I hope these links help.

financial aid works by giving out grants for college, because it is a government type grant, you don't have to pay it back. Just get it done quickly, because the quicker you do it, the more money there will be for you.

They ask you if you live by yourself, how much money you made last year,how long you have lived away from your parents, or, if you still live there, they ask your parents income. If you made under a certain amount, they can offer you loans and grants to help pay for school.
