FAFSA, SCHOLARSHIPS AND GOVERNMENT GRANTS

You will have an easier time getting a job later if you apply for money now. The quickest way to get money for higher education is by filling out a FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Your answers on the form will determine your eligibility for government assistance.

Then, keep searching. Scour the Internet for different scholarships. There are scholarships available from both your state government and the federal government, as well as from many private companies, clubs and organizations. Some scholarships are need-based, while others are merit-based and dependent on your scores on either the ACT or SAT. So keep your grades up. Prepare for the big standardized tests, and make sure you take them by the deadlines. You could end up with $500 or $5,000 that you never have to pay back. Apply for any amount. It all adds up.

Grant opportunities are another way to get the money you need. Many students start by applying for a Pell Grant, but there are others. Getting the assistance you need often comes down to doing the research and submitting the applications. The Internet is a goldmine. Start mining now.
