I am having trouble with financial stuff

Good evening. Thank you for reaching out Todd. Now more than ever, getting your education is crucial to success. So, continue to do your best. Some helpful resources in finding financial aid for college include Federal Pell Grants, scholarships and state-specific scholarships and grants.

For Federal Pell Grants, you would need to complete the FASFA on https://studentaid.gov/. This will provide you with an estimate of the dollar amount of pell grants you would be eligible based on your financial situation. They also include loan information as well. The federal deadline is June 30th but each university has its own specific deadline (usually before June 30th) for financial. Please check your desired university's deadline to ensure you submit all your necessary financial material by the deadline.

For scholarships, there are multiple platforms that hold thousands of scholarship opportunities. Please check out the scholarships/grants page of our website for some good resources.

Lastly, state-specific scholarships and grants are often hidden gems when it comes to financial aid. Depending on your residency, your state may offer in state tuition to current residents planning to attending universities in-state. This can range from part to full tuition coverage. I highly suggest you research your state's in-state tuition policy, if that is your plan. Also, filling out College Board's CSS Profile is very helpful as well. It is like the FASFA but it is used for non-federal financial aid (state grants, scholarship organizations, etc.)

I hope these resources will give you a better understanding of the financial aid options available to you and to all students. Please feel free to share this information with your friends, family and peers, and follow us on social media for future resources.
