Scholarship & Financial Aid Information
INFORMATION
Attending college or university can be costly, but there are countless opportunities to be awarded financial aid. While we have compiled some scholarships and grants for you, you can also search and apply for other financial aid through your higher education institution, organizations you are affiliated with, and other scholarships that you find through scholarship search sites. As you receive award letters, you will also want to report them to the school.
