Financial aid is money to help pay for your postsecondary education.  Financial aid can be grants, scholarships, loans, or work-study programs.  Types and sources of financial aid include:

Merit Scholarships

Merit scholarships are competitive. You face a national pool of applicants. Your best alternative might be to search for scholarships that are local to your city or state. Completing a scholarship search is the best way to begin. Try www.fastweb.com.

Financial Aid Based on Need

Many students receive need based financial aid. Completion of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in October of your senior year is essential in this process. Your financial need is determined by two factors: 

1. Cost of Attendance (COA) includes tuition, fees, room and board, transportation and other costs associated with attendance established by the school.
2. Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is determined from what you report on the FAFSA.

COA-EFC=Financial Need

If your student believes they are qualified for the HOPE or Zell Miller scholarships, please have them complete the GSFAPP on the Georgia Futures webpage.  This application is good for ten years after high school graduation and only needs to be completed once, so even if they plan to take a break after high school this should be completed now!
