Plan how to pay for college before you start. Ask school counselors and the college financial aid office about state, college, and nonprofit grants and scholarships you can apply for. Be sure to meet application deadlines. Start saving before you get to college. Consider prepaid tuition and education savings (529) plans.
FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
Most U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens are eligible for financial aid for college or career school. It’s important to understand the criteria of the programs, how to stay eligible, and how to get your eligibility back if you lose it. Our general eligibility requirements include that you have financial need, are a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and are enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program at your college or career school. There are more eligibility requirements you must meet to qualify for federal student aid.
