There are many ways to finance a college education.
Most colleges provide scholarships and financial aid.
The most common types of aid are funded by the federal government, a college or university, or various companies and organizations. Some colleges may require you to complete additional financial aid forms as well. Check with the financial aid office for details. Be sure to ask about scholarships, which unlike financial aid are often based on criteria other than financial need. Even if you don't qualify for financial aid, you may qualify for some scholarships.
