Many people never consider pursuing education beyond high school because of concerns about how
to pay the tuition and fees. It does take money to pursue college or vocational training but assistance is
available in many forms.
There are many sources of aid available to students and their families - grants, scholarships,
loans, internships, work-study, as well as other more alternative approaches. These monies are not just for
the "traditional" student that is going straight from high school to college. They are available to
anyone who qualifies.
Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in determining
your eligibility for federal financial aid. You may complete this application on-line at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you would like assistance completing this form,
contact the Southwest Ohio Educational Opportunity Center.
REMEMBER -- you don't have to pay to file the FAFSA! If you have questions, please contact the
financial aid office of the school you want to attend or go to Resources for
other assistance.
