Financial Aid/Scholarships
Need money to help pay for college? There are generally two types of aid available to students and families to assist in funding their college education. Need-based aid is determined by completing the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid . Federal student aid from the U.S. Department of Education is the largest source of aid in America, providing over $150 billion in grants, work-study, and federal loans for students attending four-year colleges or universities, community colleges, and career schools. Additionally, some colleges award institutional aid based on a students level of 'need' as determined by completing the FAFSA. In addition to need-based aid, the second way for students to qualify for assistance in paying for college is through merit-based aid, or scholarships. Generally speaking the largest amount of scholarship money a student will receive will come directly from the colleges they apply to (internal scholarships) The Avondale Academy Counseling Department maintains a list of numerous companies, community organizations, and associations that sponsor scholarship opportunities for students. These are considered external scholarships because they are awarded from outside of the college.
