Financial aid
There are many types of aid available to help finance your education, along with tools to help you determine your eligibility.
In order to receive financial aid, you must apply each year you are in college. Even if you don't think you qualify, try anyway. Generally, the earlier you apply, the better your chances of receiving aid.
