Applying for Aid
Applying for financial aid is simple.
Applying for financial aid is an important part of preparing for your college education. Financial aid helps make paying for college manageable. There are three different applications that are largely driven by your residency. Find out which you should fill out. Eligibility for various programs is first determined by your residency status. Once residency is determined, you will know which financial aid application must be completed. You only fill out 1 application.
