How It Works No doubt about it - a college education is expensive. However, the price that you pay for your education can be significantly less than the actual cost thanks to financial aid.
Financial aid takes many forms.
We will briefly describe the primary types of financial aid and provide links to several useful web sites. You should investigate all of the potential sources of financial aid that seem appropriate for your situation. Talk to a high school guidance counselor. Contact the financial aid office at each school that you are considering. Ask a parent about scholarships offered by an employer.
