Need Help Paying for College? All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid to get cash for college, even if they think they may not be eligible. Federal Pell Grants for eligible students can be worth up to $5,815 each year.

Completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Stu­dent Aid (FAFSA) is free and quick, and it provides students access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college. The FAFSA determines eligibility for state and federal grants, as well as ad­ditional school aid. Grants are one of the best ways to get cash for college- they are cash awards you don't have to pay back!

The first step is to fill out the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
