Whether you are a parent or a student you are in luck. The federal government has made the job of applying for basic financial aid packages tremendously easy. Although there are thousands of financial aid sources available you can start the process for most of them with one form, the FAFSA.

A very important thing to know for both students and parents is that you have never exhausted all avenues of financing a college education no matter how many times you are told you are not eligible. Remember this, when you are told you are not eligible for certain grants, loans, etc. you are only being told that you are not eligible for those specific programs. There are thousands out there that are not based upon financial need. Know this right now, you are going to have to be very persistent in your search but it is possible to finance college no matter what your situation.
