Figuring out how to pay for continued education can be a challenge. Below are some resources that can help:
- The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a form that must be filled out in order to be considered for financial assistance. This form helps schools to determine how much financial aid to award to students. You can access this form online at: www.fafsa.ed.gov
- The Department of Education: There are many types of federal student aid programs, including grants, loans, and Federal Work Study programs. Schools are not required to participate in any of these federal financial aid programs. Be sure to check with each school that you are considering to find out the types of financial aid that they offer. For information on funding your education, visit: www.ed.gov
