Attending college can be a life-changing opportunity, but the cost of tuition, books, and living expenses can be overwhelming. Seeking financial aid—such as scholarships, grants, work-study programs, and loans—can make higher education more accessible and affordable. Many students miss out on valuable financial assistance simply because they don’t apply. By exploring all available options and submitting applications early, students can reduce their financial burden, focus on their studies, and set themselves up for future success without excessive debt. Don’t let cost be a barrier—financial aid can open doors to endless possibilities! T
