how to get financial aid for higher education?
155034
Figure out the schools you would like to go to and contact their financial aid departments (should be able to do through a 1800 number or through email).  They should help you fill out the FAFSA, which is the financial aid forms students need to fill out (at least American students, I think international too).  The best bet is to pick a school and then get that school to help you.  Their admissions office (usually linked from their home page) would be a good place to contact.  They can probably direct you to a contact that will help you out with financial aid (and possible scholarships/grants/etc.).  good luck!

Go to the FAFSA website, register, and fill out the forms.  You will need yours and/or your parents' tax information.  When you submit it, have it sent to the colleges of your choice.  The colleges will use that to determine your financial aid.

Try taking the ACT or SAT.  If you score high, you may be eligible for some scholarships, depending on how high.\n\nAlso, many who do not qualify for Pell Grants still can get student loans, which do not need to be paid back as long as you are in school at least half time (6 semester hours).\n\nDid you go to the FAFSA website and apply for federal aid yet?  If not, do that first.

Fill out the FAFSA.  They will give you information on the PELL Grant (a federal grant), any state grants, and any loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) you may be eligible for.

There are scholarships and grants available from hundreds if not thousands of groups across the country.  You can get all the information from your high school advisor.  If you are already out of high school, every college has an admissions advisor with a huge directory of financial aid.

First, go to the Federal Student Aid page and see if you might qualify for Federal financial aid. Most colleges will ask you to fill out the FASFA form if you apply for financial aid anyway. \nhttp://www.fasfa.gov\n\nIf you know where you want to attend college then check the specific colleges' webpages under financial aid, scholarships or something like that. Typically they will have general information on scholarships and will have information on scholarships that are given out by that particular school.\n\nTry these websites as well for more information and additional links:\nFinancial Aid.com: http://www.finaid.org/\nHere is the ECU scholarship page:\nhttp://www.ecu.edu/financial/scholarships.cfm\n\nFinally, go to your school or public library and ask the reference librarian to help you source some information on scholarships. Your school counselor should also be able to help you out.\n\nHope this helps!

Fill out the FAFSA, apply to the school, speak with their office of financial aid (they will have a list of grants/scholarships/etc. and their requirements.) You should schedule an appointment with their office so that you don't have to wait long. They are usually willing to help you fill out a paper FAFSA, but it's fairly simple if you have your tax returns to follow the online instructions.

The best route for any type of financial aid is first to complete a FAFSA .. you can do this online at www.fafsa.org.. the financial aid office and the Dept of Ed will evaluate you eligiblities for any types of grants or loans.. even if you do not qualify for fre aid ( grants or scholarships) you may qualify for Stafford Loans.. then try for private loans .. (ie EdAmerica) or your local bank sometimes will offer student loans as well.. Hope this helps! GOOD LUCK!!

have you filled out the free FAFSA form with the federal government?  there are 3 types of aid you can get after you  get approved. \nThe first one is the Pell Grants  and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. Next there are Work study programs that help. Then there are the loans such as the Perkins and Stafford loans and the Parent plus loans that you can get which are based on your parents income\n\nBe leery of scams that finds scholarships for you for a fee.\n The best thing to do is go to your school's fin aid office and see what programs they can help you with.\nBest of luck to you with your studies

There are other sources for financial aid for college students. They are free to utilize.\n\nFAFSA.ed.gov will help you tap into need based financial aid from both the federal goverment and your college/university.\n\n35 states offer a website in which you can apply for both college admission and state financial aid at the same time. You can locate these by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com. If your state is one of the 15, you can locate college grants and scholarships via searching the state government's website.\n\nFinally, your local college/university's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships available to its students from companies and organizations.\n\nGood luck!

There are waivers or grants that can help with or completely pay some admission fees. Check out options with the financial aid office at each school and it's time to submit the FAFSA! If you are a non-traditional student or low income you should have help available. Good Luck to you and Congratulations in taking the first step to higher learning!

Start at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/\n\nYou can fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and submit it to the colleges you are considering attending.  Using that information, they can calculate how much aid (including loans) you may be eligible to receive.  They will also be the ones to help you with the necessary paperwork.\n\nIf you're not eligible for Federal aid (or to fill out the FAFSA), there are still some loans which may be available to you.  Contact the Financial Aid offices at the colleges you are considering attending.  Again, they can tell you what is available and what you would need to do to apply.\n\n(All of this assumes you're in the United States.  For elsewhere, I have no information.)
