Financial Aid/Scholarship Basics?

<p>Anyone have any tips/recommendations for a rising senior on applying for financial aid and finding scholarships?</p>

<p>Your question is way too general–this whole forum is dedicated to the subject! I suggest you start by reading the Financial Aid FAQ’s (locked thread) at the top of the “Financial Aid and Scholarships” discussion home page. Also look at the resources on the “Paying for College” tab on the CC main page. Once you’ve gotten better educated about financial aid and scholarships, you’ll have more specific questions that many here will be able to help you with.</p>

<p>Whoops, my bad, I guess I missed that thread. Also, I literally know NOTHING about the subject so that’s also a part of it… Haha I’ll be back…</p>

<p>The best scholarships are from the colleges themselves because those are usually for all four years.</p>

<p>FA depends on what you qualify for AND the policies of each school. Most schools do not have much to give.</p>
