Still need help with financial aid and college scholarships?
We get it. Figuring out how to fund your college tuition (plus room & board!) can be quite challenging. That’s why we’ve assembled this three-step plan:
First, you’ll need to understand the financial aid process, calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and submit your FAFSA as soon as possible (more details on FAFSA deadlines here).
Second, you’ll want to research some state-specific or university-specific financial aid options. For example, check out these New Jersey scholarship application options:
- Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
- Montclair State University
- Thomas Edison State University
- Rowan University
Finally, you’ll want to supplement your federal and state student aid, with independent scholarships. That’s where Going Merry comes in. At Going Merry, we make finding and applying for scholarships easy (and, of course, free)! Get started today. Sign up here.
