First, find the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid); you can find it online easily. It helps determine if you are eligible for financial assistance like Pell grants or Stafford Loans. Also, most colleges use the information from the FAFSA to determine if you are eligible for their scholarships.
Talk to your guidance counselor and see about applying to a few scholarships. Then fill out the FAFSA form either online or you can get the form from the office.
Start by speaking to your counselor at school to see about scholarships and grants. Also be proactive and go online to see about alternative sources of scholarships and funding. If your parents are members of unions, organizations or large companies check their website to see if they offer any kind of funding or low cost loans.
First, check with the financial aid department at the school you'd like to attend to see what you're eligible for. Also, check online scholarship databases.
One option is to check with your school if they are offering any grant opportunities or any scholarship opprtunities. Another option is to look for an employer who offers education tuition benefits.
