The first (best) step is to select the university of your choice and make an appointment with the financial aid counselor. Once you have done that, it is then advisable to put together a financial statement from yourself and your parents if you are a graduating student. Those who have earned scholarships need to take them along when first applying for financial help.

The government has many programs that are offered to students who are attending university. Some of the financial aid programs do not require you to pay them back until after graduation. There are programs that are ‘work-study’, where you can work and earn money while you are also studying. Scholarships become available to students with a high grade point average.

Those who really want to attend college or a community college only need to apply to the financial aid department for help regarding a student loan, grant, scholarship, or ‘work-study’ programs. Bring in your financial statements along with any scholarships that you might have earned while in high school. Some students have a scholarship or grant money given to them through their sports activities. Often, those who play football or baseball automatically have grant money promised to them by certain colleges. Those who plan on going into the military may qualify for money as well as a part of their service. The help is out there; you only need to ask.


To get a further education, students often have to pay a high price for it. This is especially so for university studies. Some of us may be lucky enough to have parents who are able to afford it. Some of us are not that lucky. In order to further their studies, some have to apply for bank loans. If you are not eligible for a bank loan and need to pay for your upcoming semester, consider getting a loan from licensed moneylenders.
