What is Financial Aid?
Financial aid is all of the monetary help that you can get to help you pay for college. This money can come from the Federal Government, the State Government, Scholarships, and/or Federal and Private Loans.
There are three types of aid that you can receive from these various sources:
Gift Aid (free)
Work (earn)
Loans (pay back)
Where do I get this financial aid?
Apply, apply, apply! There are 2 applications that award you financial aid: FAFSA and CA Dream Act. The CSS Profile is a supplemental financial aid application you do for private schools so that they can figure out how much aid you qualify in order to attend their school.
