The majority of Georgia students attending Consortium colleges, universities and other institutions of higher learning receive financial aid. In order to make these comparisons, you need to apply for financial aid as soon as possible. The beginning of your senior year in high school is the best time to start inquiring about financial aid. Your best sources of information are the financial aid officers at the colleges and universities you wish to attend. As you request admissions information from the institutions, also ask for a financial aid application and any related information.
Students receive financial aid from a remarkable array of sources.
You may apply for assistance from the Federal and State governments, civic or church groups, your employer, your parent's employer or union, professional organizations, and the colleges and universities themselves. For more sources of information about financial aid, visit the State and National Financial Aid Resources links above to learn about the major State and Federal aid programs available to Georgia students. You can check on the latest program information and learn more about financial aid from a college or university financial aid officer, or from your high school guidance counselor.
