Financial Aid: Get money for college!
As college costs rise, you have to search hard to find 
the right combination of scholarships, grants, loans 
to pay for your education. There are thousands of
scholarships and grants available, and the sooner you 
begin to research, the better your chances will be of 
getting some $$$. Below are a list of websites to get 
you going. And a word of caution: Throw out the junk 
mail or hang up on companies that want you to pay a 
fee for scholarship info! It’s a scam. All the search 
sites listed below are free, but some may have 
obnoxious pop-up ads. ¡Buena Suerte!
