Paying for college the easy way

Financing college can be the most mentally and physically draining tasks you will perform in your adult lives.
Everyone does not have the luxury or convenience of financial aid. Scholarships and grants are the answers of many college students who depend on financial sources other than government funds.
Unless your parents are in the 50 percent tax bracket, most of us cannot afford to pay for school out of pocket. You would be surpassed at the amount of free money (grants/scholarships) and very low interest rate loan available.
The biggest scholarship search on the Internet is www.fastweb.com. Based on the information that you provide, fastweb matches you with possible funds that will be available to you.
Tips on searching for scholarships/grants:
1) Look for funds that do not cater to any particular major.
2) Look for deadlines that are prior to the conclusion of semester.
3) Look for companies that offer more than one award.
4) The majority of monetary awards require an essay. Be concise, stick to guidelines and proofread!
5) Search major companies/organizations they may offer scholarships during the year
The SU Financial Aid Office can assist you with Pell grants; you may also go to www.fafsa.com for your search.
