Financial
Aid / Scholarships
You
do not have to be poor to qualify for aid, but you
do have to prove the need for Financial Aid. You
need to work closely with your school's Financial
Aid Office. The more you know about financial
aid and the application process, the greater advantage
for you. For information on the U.S. Department of
Education's student aid programs and eligibility
requirements, visit them at: http://www.ed.gov/studentaid
