Financial Aid
There are a variety of ways to help pay for college. Students earn free money for a variety of reasons – academics, leadership, athletics, talents, or military involvement to name a few. Grants, work-study, and loans are types of aid given based on financial need. Students need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to be considered for federal, state, or college-based financial aid. You can find more information about the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. The FAFSA should be completed each year that you are in college.
