Good evening Lakeisha.Williams! I understand your concern. You are one of many students who are unable to cover their full tuition on their own. However, there are many sources of financial aid available to you that will help cover these expenses. Here are some:
Apply to the FAFSA: Despite the uncertainty with Federal Student Aid, I still encourage you to apply to the FAFSA because it offers Federal Pell Grants based on your income. Federal Pell Grants are sums of money for college that do not need to be paid back.
Scholarships: In addition, there are multiple platforms that hold thousands of scholarship opportunities and they are safe from government influence. Please check out thescholarships/grants page of our website for good scholarship database resources and scholarship opportunities.
CSS Profile: College Board's CSS Profile is very helpful in helping people receive non-federal institutional aid (Scholarships, university specific scholarships and grants, etc).
State Tuition Assistance: Many U.S. states offer in-state tuition assistance which can cover sometimes 75% to 100% of college expenses. However, this is only for residents. If your state has this form of assistance, you may be eligible for tuition assistance if you attend an in-state university. So, please check eligibility requirements if you are interested in this form of aid.
University-specific financial aid policies: Many universities offer financial aid policies that are willing to provide full tuition coverage to students who have an income within a certain margin. Please check your desired universities' financial aid policies to see if they offer full tuition coverage based on your income.
Student debt is a major issue among college graduate but it does not have to be for you. By taking these steps to receive money for college (applying to scholarship, CSS profile, etc.), you will graduate college with little to no debt. You can do this! I have faith in you!😊✊🏾
