Question

The official list is on that site.

Answer 2

You may want to complete your FAFSA.  Depending on income, and financial need, it may automatically qualify you for federal and state grants towards your education.  Scholarships are a bit different.  Different companies, foundations, and organizations handle these things differently, and with vastly different application due dates.  Go online to a scholarship search site, or check out a book at your local public library on financial aid and scholarships.

Answer 3

fill out the fafsa... go to fafsa.ed.gov

Answer 4

There are 3 types of financial aid you should try to get

1. Government loans - the first step to qualifying for these is by filling out a FAFSA. This will let colleges know what your financial need is and they can then distribute federal funds to you in the form a low interest rate loan.

2. School scholarships - many schools offer academic scholarships to students who meet certain criteria. Check with your college (or potential colleges') financial aid office for more information on these.

3. Outside scholarships - there are numerous outside scholarships for which you may qualify. Some of these are given out by private foundations and others by corporations. You can conduct a scholarship search at:
