Scholarship and Grant Applications – Making College More Affordable

Scholarships and Grants are types of student financial aid designed to assist students with the cost of education beyond the high school level. Unlike student loans, scholarships and grants do not normally have to be repaid, nor do they typically have work or service obligations.
