There is usually a wide range of private and government options for financial aid. The key to getting on the band wagon with government aid of all types is to fill out the FAFSA— the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It’s about 8 pages long and can be filed via paper or online. After filing the application you’ll receive back a Student Aid Report (SAR), which determines what government financial aid you qualify for. Different schools follow different paths from here, so be sure to check with the financial aid office. There are also a wide range of non-governmental financial aid sources.
