College Prep & Scholarships

This is by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it will bring value and prove useful to those who need more information. If there is anything missing here that you think I should add, please feel free to contact me.

Remember the First Step is Always:

Fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA.
Federal Grants are 47% of money given that doesn’t need to be repaid. Furthermore you need to fill out a FAFSA in order to find out if you qualify for work-study programs and loans.

Many private colleges require students to fill out a CSS profile in addition to (not instead of) FAFSA. A CSS profile is also used to assess expected family contribution to determine your financial aid package. Here is a list of the schools who use CSS Profile.

Here are some local scholarships:
