Paying for College

Paying for College

What if you could earn a degree and follow your dreams – without amassing major student debt? If that’s your goal, then you’re in the right place.

You can afford college.
Here’s how:

Grants, scholarships, work-study jobs, low-interest loans, payment plans – all are ways to make college affordable.

What’s the smart first step? Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you don’t, you could miss out on affordable loans and grants (which don’t have to be repaid!). Completing the FAFSA only takes about 30 minutes, and we can help you fill it out.
