Scholarships

Check with organizations in your community, like churches, businesses, foundations, and even your parents’ employers. It never hurts to ask what’s available.

Grants

Grants are typically based on financial need and awarded through federal programs. PELL grants are awarded to almost 10 million students annually. SEOG are special grants for students with especially strong financial need, with priority given to PELL awardees.
