If you have financial need please consider reading through the following information as it could help you go school for free or at a lower cost. This information helped me a lot so I wanted to pass the information to others.  Hopefully this will prevent people from taking interest based loans or having to work to pay for school. Enjoy.

Most important one: Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant is awarded by the U.S. Department of Education and is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is determined by information entered on the FAFSA. Pell Grants are awarded to both full and part-time undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree.
