Michele answered Monday August 3 2009, 12:50 pm: The fafsa form is used for both State and federal grants. For private grants, you can go to a website called fastweb.com. Register there. They will ask you all kinds of questions and your answers will help them find private grants that you may be eligible for. Like your father being a veteran, or your having medical issues. Also, when applying for private grants, many of them have three requirements. One Good Grades, Two, Financial need and 3, volunteer work. So if you have not done any volunteer work yet, I suggest you find some this summer.
Here is another tip. If you apply to attend a State School, rather than a private college. Much of the college costs could be covered by financial aid, public and private grants, and small student loans. It is the private schools that have such high costs, where students graduate with high amounts of college debt. So look into and consider State colleges in YOUR state. Hope this helps.
