I want to start researching financial aid options, but I'm not sure where to begin. What are some good websites or resources to help me find scholarships and other financial aid opportunities? Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi there! It's great that you're taking the initiative to research financial aid options. There are several resources you can use to find scholarships and financial aid opportunities. Start with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) website to apply for federal aid: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa. Another great resource is the U.S. Department of Labor's scholarship search tool: https://www.careeronestop.org/toolkit/training/find-scholarships.aspx. Additionally, check out Fastweb (https://www.fastweb.com/), which has a large database of scholarships and can help you find opportunities that fit your profile. Lastly, don't forget to explore your school's financial aid office and local organizations, as they might offer scholarships exclusive to your community or institution. Good luck with your search!
