- Apply for Grants and Scholarships – “free money” – http://www.studentscholarshipsearch.com/
- Evaluate Financial Aid Reward Package
- Consider Work Study Programs part-time jobs on campus
- Apply for Student Loans – http://www.studentloannetwork.com
It’s a process that requires you to start early – the FAFSA should be sent in as soon as possible after January 1st! Don’t wait until the last minute to determine how to fund your educatio
