How can I get financial aid if I am already enrolled in college?

Complete your FAFSA! This is the single most important thing you can do. From there, you can qualify for loans, and even work-study through your university.

You can try academic jobs funded by the college - such as teaching-assistantships (TA) or research-assistantships (RA). While a TA would help a professor conduct a course (grading, correcting papers), an RA works on research level topics with a professor. Other than that, there are many on-campus jobs that you can take up, like in the library or some food-stores.

Start at your college's Office of Financial Assistance. The staff can help you complete the application for federal aid and locate private scholarships and grants.
