Paying for College with Financial Aid
What Is Financial Aid?
Financial aid is financial assistance available from the federal government, state government, and private sources. It can be grants, student loans, or work-study employment.
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the form to be completed by current and prospective college students to determine eligibility for student financial aid.
The key to receiving the aid you are eligible for is to understand the FAFSA and the overall process for identifying and applying for the various kinds of financial aid.
