Student Aid and Where It Comes From

Basic assistance categories:
  • Financial need-based.  Remember that students and their parents are responsible for paying what they can - financial aid is a supplement, not a substitute, for family resources.
  • Non need-based.  Factors include academic excellence, ethnic background, or organization membership. Corporations may also offer assistance to employees and children.
Federal Student Aid:
States offer residents a variety of scholarships, loans, and tuition exemptions.
Colleges and universities provide some 20% of aid, most need-based. Check university Web sites and the institution's financial aid office when you apply for admission.

Private foundations, corporations, and organizations offer scholarships or grants:
