Outside Sources

Financing a college education is an important investment that requires many resources. The Financial Aid office offers assistance to students by outlining various financial resources available and guiding students through the application process. Office staff is available throughout the year to assist students with their needs.

Financial Aid consists of:

• Scholarships based on merit (academic, talent, special skill).
• Grants based on need, as determined by a student's aid application.
• Employment that allows students to work and earn money to help pay for school.
• Loan money that is often repaid after school at a low interest rate.

Students are encouraged to research the possibilities of outside scholarship funds in their local communities or with employers. Public libraries offer books listing private scholarship possibilities. Some sources of outside scholarship funding opportunities can be found at http://edgenet.edgewood.edu/scholarships/
