Tuition and Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is generally offered through three sources: college-based; federal, state, or community-based; or private-based. Check with the institution you are transferring to for a comprehensive listing of available financial aid for their institution, including departmental scholarships. The Internet has many sources for financial aid. Understand the terms of each source of financial aid you receive – loans must always be repaid, while grants and scholarships are almost always money that is not repaid. If you have limited financial resources, keep in mind the amount of debt you will have to repay when you graduate.
