How to Apply for Financial Aid
While everyone knows that college tuition is expensive, many don’t realize just how much financial aid is available, in the form of loans, grants and scholarships. The good news: what many students actually pay is far less than that the cost printed in the college brochures!

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a form that all colleges use to calculate the expected family contribution in order to determine eligibility for most types of financial aid.

Many colleges also award non-need based aid in recognition of a student’s particular abilities, talents or other criteria. These are called Merit Grants, and also referred to as scholarships. They may range from several hundred dollars to a “full-ride.” Maintaining a high GPA, excelling in a sport, doing extensive community service or developing your art, dance or music skills are all ways a student can increase their chances of receiving merit-based aid.

While they represent a very small percentage of the total amount of money available for financial aid, scholarships offered by organizations, foundations and businesses are definitely worth pursuing. They are often small, but they do add up. Furthermore, scholarships offered at the community level are often easier to get, simply because there are fewer people competing for them. Scholarship money may be awarded to students for such things as academic achievement, essay writing, artistic talents, volunteer service or demonstration of leadership. The College Advisor will provide students with information about finding scholarships for which they may qualify.
