4 ways to get financial aid in college
The easiest way to find money for education is to take a student loan, but this money will need to be returned. However, the student has the opportunity to receive free financial assistance.
There are four options for such assistance:
- Federal (state) assistance.
- Help each individual state.
- Scholarships from college.
- Private scholarships.
To qualify for the first three, you need to fill out an application for federal student assistance.
How to get federal assistance
The first step is to register on the site federal student assistanceand fill out the FAFSA form (free application of federal student aid). This form contains more than a hundred questions that need to be given accurate and truthful answers.
The scheme is this - you give all the information about yourself, and specialists using special formulas calculate what kind of federal assistance you can count on. It is given to students who cannot afford to pay tuition, and does not depend on academic performance.
