College grants & Scholarships

Grants and scholarships come from various sources, including governments, colleges and private organizations. Both types of funding are free money that does not need to be repaid. However, keep in mind that grants tend to be need-based, while scholarships are often merit-based.

How do I apply for grants and scholarships?

Grants and scholarships have their own requirements and deadlines, which can be found on their respective websites. However, keep in mind that scholarships will affect your student aid overall since your financial aid cannot exceed the cost of attendance of your college or career school.
