Return To Scholarships Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Funding A College Education: Where To Start By Manik Thapar (MBA) The beginning of the new year marks the time when many high school students will apply to college and decide where they will continue their education. For students and parents alike, paying for a secondary education is a major concern. About two-thirds of all student financial aid comes from U.S. Department of Education grant, workstudy, and loan programs. Aid is awarded for these programs based on demonstrated financial need. Grades or class ranking are not considered. The different types of government aid available feature: * You dont have to pay back grants (unless, for example, you withdraw from school and owe a refund). * Work-study allows you to earn money for your education. * Loans allow you to borrow money for school. You must repay any money you borrow. You can learn about state aid programs by contacting your state higher education agency. You can learn about other programs by checking with your high school counselor or the college or career school you plan to attend. You can also use a search engine on the Web using key words such as 'financial aid,' 'student aid,' or 'scholarships.' Many private scholarship search services provide sources of financial assistance. If you decide to use a service, check its reputation by contacting the Better Business Bureau or a state attorney generals office.
