College financial aid is designed to make higher education affordable by addressing the financial need—that is, the cost of attendance minus what the family can contribute. To apply for financial aid, complete the FAFSA form and the CSS Profile, and be prepared with your tax information. Financial aid can come in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study programs. Be proactive and consult financial aid offices for assistance in finding scholarships and navigating complexities in your financial aid journey.
