Student Financial Aid

This country offers the best in collegiate education the world has to offer, but finding ways to finance that education poses a real problem to American families. The cost of higher education is only getting that much more staggering every year, so it is critical that families have access to every possible resource in paying for school.

Read about how we worked to make college more affordable in the last Congress, and about all that we must still do to help youngsters get their degrees.

For those currently on the hunt for financial aid, peruse the Department of Education Web site and familiarize yourself with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid − it will afford you the opportunity to gain federal grants and loans for college tuition. We link below to a series of sites that will assist you in your search. Good luck!
