Colleges charge tuition and fees. There is a variety of assistance available to help students meet college costs. Financial aid can be found through scholarships, grants, student loans, and work-study programs. There is often a relationship between your financial need and getting assistance.

For each school of interest, record your answers to the following questions: What is the cost of college tuition? Room and board? Books and fees? What types of financial aid are available? What are the eligibility requirements to receive each type of financial aid? How do I apply for financial aid? For additional information on financial aid resources and general application procedures, contact: http://www.finaid.org http://www.students.gov/ Additional website addresses for information on financial aid can be found on the Post-ITT Website by selecting Resources and by using search engines such as http://www.google.com.

Discuss the financial aid information you have recorded with your parents.
