Debt Management Tips - Other Sources to Pay for College
Student loans are not the only source of funding to pay for your education. There are other options that include student employment, grants, and scholarships. Students interested in federal aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and should apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. In addition to the FAFSA, students must meet federal eligibility criteria, and complete other forms, if required. Listed below are some of the options other than loans:
