Searching and applying for financial aid (i.e.
scholarships, grants, etc.) requires planning and resourcefulness.
In order to receive the maximum aid you may be eligible to
apply for and possibly receive, you must create a plan and
start your scholarship search early.
All students planning to attend a college/university, trade,
technical, or vocational school should apply for financial
aid. You should never assume that you are not eligible for
financial aid based on your family’s income. Remember,
there are many awards given to students based on their academic
achievements, athletic talents, artistic talents, and other
merits.
