Learn About Financial Aid Options
Grants. Scholarships. Work-study. Federal loans. Our advisors help students and families understand the full range of financial aid options available and which ones make the most sense for their unique situation. We walk through eligibility requirements, application timelines and how to build a strategy that reduces out-of-pocket costs.
Complete the FAFSA
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is your gateway to most forms of college financial aid – including federal grants, work-study and student loans. College Now provides free assistance to help you complete the FAFSA accurately and on time.
Evaluate Financial Aid Offers
Not all financial aid packages are created equal. Our team works with students to break down award letters and compare costs so they can make an informed decision about where to enroll and how to pay for it. We help students understand terms like grants, subsidized loans and expected family contribution, making sure you’re getting the best value for your education.
