There are ways to make education affordable through Financial Aid and Scholarships
- Grants – are based on financial aid and do not need to be repaid
- Scholarships – do not need to be repaid and are awarded to students with exceptional merit
- Work Study – on campus positions where eligible students can earn money through employment
- Loans – are to be repaid after graduation
NOTE: Be mindful of scholarship scams. NEVER pay any organization, company, or individual to help you gain access to scholarship list or conduct scholarship search. Some programs will require a small processing fee but NOT a large sum of money in order to apply.
