The Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce believes that every student who wants to go to college can. In our effort to help students achieve higher goals in education, the Chamber has compiled some financial aid information to help students and parents as they explore ways to finance a college education. College tuition increases every year.
Financial assistance includes loans, grants or scholarships.
Loans must be repaid. The amount of the loan plus interest must be paid over a prearranged period of time. Repayment usually starts six months to a year after graduation with a present interest rate that lasts the life of the loan. Click here to read more about loans. Grant money does not have to be paid back.
