Another good source of information and pointers regarding College applications in general can be found with your school counselor, who will also be able to give you advice on your scholarship and funding options in order to pay for your college. It is an easy and efficient method for you to drop in and get some information and help from someone that you know.

Consult the school that you plan to attend in order to find out about the financial aid programs that it offers.

Below are a few more powerful suggestions you should consider:

► If you are going to college, right after you complete high school, consider what is referred to as 'dependent student aid' which implies your parent's financial background information will be required and used as a screening criteria for your application process.

► Trying to apply for any type of ‘independent class student aid’ is very much recommended if you’re married, born before January 1, 1975, a veteran, or in a professional or graduate program, or have some legal dependents.

► If there is any limited, low or no family contributions to call upon, try to apply for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) – it is a grants program which is supported by the government.

► Other options to consider are Federal Work Study Programs (FWS). If you also want to gain work experience during your studies or use the part-time employment in order to pay for tuition. Some invaluable exposure and recognized experience will be gained through this initiative and they’ve been quite popular recently.

► There are always some commercial, private or student loans that will offer low-interest rates and a variety of options for repayment.

► Try to be careful of online scams that try to take advantage of people who are looking for ‘easy’ free money for college education. You might be making some losses on some of your own hard-earned cash. Even scholarship seminars can prove to be costly, with very little return. You will be able to do a lot of the legwork and research, consulting on your own, before you make use of the ‘experts’ or insiders.
