In addition to state, college and private sources,
financial help with your education is available from the Federal
government. The U.S. Department of Education has created a variety
of assistance programs available to all eligible undergraduate students.
There is an abundance of Federal financial aid available in the
form of grants, loans, and work-study programs for qualifying students.
In each case, application for Federal assistance begins with completing
a FAFSA Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
