Where to Find Money
Many individuals, foundations, and government organizations recognize the importance of a college education, so they set aside funds for students. There's a good chance you're eligible for scholarship opportunities and/or financial aid.
Scholarships
Scholarships aren’t just for straight-A students. You could receive free money for college based on your career interests, family status, heritage, high school alma mater, and more. Complete a single application and get connected to hundreds of opportunities.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid comes in the form of free money (grants), borrowed money (loans), and part-time employment (work-study). Complete the U.S. government’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see if you qualify for assistance.
