Students in the United States have opportunities to avail of financial assistance for their education. Sources of financial assistance for education are the Federal and State governments as well as various private and non-government organizations.
This is money that never has to be repaid! These free funds come in the form of Scholarships, Fellowships, Internships and also Government Grants. Many interested parties however have no clear idea of the differences of these various funding assistance and how these can be availed of.
Your first step should be to obtain a FAFSA document (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students can ask for this from the school of their choice. You will want to fully complete and send in this document by the deadline. After submitting your application, you must renew it every year thereafter, updating the information every time as may be necessary. The application you have submitted will enable you to qualify for the different types of government financial aids. Once your application is processed, you will receive a statement in the mail that lets you know how much funding you are eligible for.
Students whose maximum financial aid grant is insufficient to fully fund their educational needs can still apply for other types of financial aid from both government and private sources. Most grants and scholarships together with the criteria or eligibility basis can be found online. The trick should be to have the patience and perseverance to keep on searching in order to find the scheme that will be appropriate for your personal circumstances.
How to tell a Scholarship and a Fellowship from a Grant.
The Scholarship and Fellowship. While basically the same, a fellowship refers to financial assistance granted to graduate students seeking higher education, while a scholarship is granted to the undergraduates. Scholarships can be funded with either public or private moneys. Oftentimes, you must qualify for a scholarship by having good grades and SAT scores. Another form of financial aid students can avail of is the sports or the athletic scholarship. Aside from the typical financial aid available to students, there are also many other forms of scholarships and grants based on different eligibilities and qualifications.
Government Grants. Government Grants refer public funds offered as free financial aid to qualified and eligible students. Qualified and eligible students can avail of the various types of government grants one at a time or simultaneously as may be necessary to meet their financial requirement. The FAFSA offers the best opportunity of taking advantage of a government grant.
It is a fact that government grants and privately funded scholarships are all intended to help and benefit the students. All you need to do is due diligence, a bit of paperwork and perhaps some research and you will uncover more funding options than you knew existed.
