You should receive an award letter from your school’s financial aid office. Read over all the award letters you get from different schools, compare the types and add up the amounts of finaid you can get!
Grants & Scholarships (Psst… they’re free!)
The more grants and scholarships you can grab, the better. Talk with a guidance counselor or financial aid professional at your school for more resources on finding free money!
Loans
Loans are another option to get money for school. You will need to go through your school’s financial aid office and request a Federal Direct Loan (Student Loan).
