By filling out the FAFSA, you are applying for several types of awards including grants, loans, and employment/work-study. Grants are awards that do not need to be paid back. Loans, however, do need to be paid back with interest over time. Work-study jobs are available to students with financial need; if hired, students receive paychecks based on hours worked. Students applying for fall semester are encouraged to fill out the application as soon after January 1 as possible. Please check institutional deadlines and codes. Application forms are available from any high school, university, or community college. Students may also apply on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Numerous free scholarship searches are available via the internet. Use caution when confronted with companies who “guarantee” scholarships for a fee as there are many free services available. Your high school and many local libraries have free access to the internet for public use. The following are a few examples of free searches:
