Scholarships
You may have heard that millions of dollars of scholarships
go unused each year. The trick is finding the scholarship that matches
your student’s qualifications. Some are based on financial
need, others on GPAs and entrance exams, others on the high school
attended, or where the parents work. Get started… first look
for local scholarships from area businesses and community organizations.
Your chances of receiving these may be greater than for national
scholarships.
Financial Assistance
The first step toward applying for financial assistance
is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is the federal application for financial
aid, and it may also be used to apply for aid from other sources,
such as your state or school. The deadlines for your state or schools
may be different from the federal deadlines and you may be required
to complete additional forms.

You should also check with your high school
guidance counselor or a financial aid administrator at your school
about state and school sources of student aid.
