Going to college or university is challenging
enough. Figuring out how to pay for it doesn't have to add
to the stress of studying for exams and determining the direction
you want your career to take. Free Education Guides can help
you navigate the sometimes complicated process of applying
for and receiving financial aid for students.
There are several financial aid options for
students in need of financial help to attend college or university.
These financial aid options include student grants, scholarships,
student loans, internships, work-study programs, college savings
plans and even a few alternative methods such as programs
like AmeriCorps and tax deduction options.

In the 2006-2007 academic year there was more
than $130 US billion distributed in financial aid to both
graduate and undergraduate students. These included student
grants from various sources, federal student loans, work-study
programs and even tax credits and deductions. Additionally,
students borrowed over $18 US billion from private sources
and state institutions to finance their education. In total
this was an increase of 82% over the 10 years from 1996-1997
to 2006-2007, and financial aid to both undergraduate and
graduate students increased at roughly the same rate.
