Scholarships
Scholarships, like grants, do not need to be repaid. Scholarships can be based on academic performance, financial need, religious affiliation, and/or minority status. When applying for scholarships, think about what you have to offer that is unique - what makes you different - and find a group that values that difference. Read the requirements carefully. Do not waste your time applying for scholarships for which you are not qualified.

One more way to afford college without borrowing money
Many 2-and-4-year colleges have programs that offer reduced or even free tuition to students who work for the university. A simple thing like working 10 hours a week for the college can get you reduced tuition. Check it out! Ask the university admissions office.
