Do You Need Financial Aid for College?

How to get financial aid for college shouldn’t seem like such a mystery, but many upcoming college students don’t know where to begin.

They want to go to college, but don’t have the finances available to them to pay for it…this is not only their plight, but was the plight of many who have gone before, and are now either attending or have graduated from college.

If you find yourself, or someone you know in this situation, financial aid is probably your answer.

What is financial aid?

There is really no reason that anyone who wants to go to college should not be able to afford it. There are funds available to assist eligible students pay for their higher education that come from:

• Private funding
• Federal funding
• State funding
• Institutional funding

The money can be used in conjunction with grants, loans, scholarships or even student contributions.

The difficult thing is knowing which type of aid is best for you and your situation. Which type of aid is a loan and needs to be paid back and when do you have to start paying them back? Is it better to get federal or state funding?
