Helping Americans find government and private grants since 1996
College tuition costs will not stop skyrocketing. How many students have to spend their school time looking for scholarships instead of studying because they are flat broke and their parents can not afford to support them while in school? How many students have to take a semester off school because of a lack of money? And if you are a parent with kids in high school, are you contemplating selling your house and one of your kids just to pay for college? You don't have to bury yourself in debt with student loans.
A college education is absolutely essential to your financial success in the future. You may not be able to get tuition cheaper but you can get some of the billions in free money available for your college education! Don't spend the rest of your life trying to pay off your student loans or your kids student loans.
Congratulations for your choice to enroll in a school of higher learning! Most people have heard of the federal government's largest money programs for students like the Pell Grant program and the Guaranteed Student Loan program. But did you know that the federal government is the single largest source of money for students-whether they need it or not? In all cases grants are free and do not have to be paid back.
Why are they free? Because your parents pay taxes and Congress sets aside over $33 billion per year so that students in the US will have the funding to go to the school of their choice. Listed on this site are just a small sample of the grants available. In some cases the total education tab is picked up by the federal government if you major in an area in which there is a high demand for employees and personnel. The only suggestion is that you start early.
