Many schools have grants for athlete s. Find a school that wants you on their team and see what kind of offer you get. Fill out FAF forms. See your guidance counselor . File a financial aid application with every school you apply to.
Deadlines vary from school to school.
Call financial aid, request an application, fill it out and mail it. Push your parents to help since much of the info is supplied by them anyway. Narrow your choices down to a few definites. Make the coach think they are your number one choice, but that you need to have a good aid package to afford their school. Whoever comes with the best package gets you.
