Begin by applying for financial aid, using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You must complete the FAFSA each year for your eligibility to be determined. Financial aid may be in the form of grants which you don't pay back, loans which you do pay back with convenient terms, and work-study which can fund your salary for an on-campus job that can be scheduled around your classes. Visit Financial Aid to learn more about student financial aid programs.
Scholarships provide gift money but have certain terms and conditions which may include your past academic record, financial need, or the major you intend to pursue. Visit Scholarships to learn about the 300+ scholarship opportunities available at ACM.
