Financial Aid for CAPS Students
Tips for Getting Started:
- Use the handy HESAA Tuition Aid Grant Award Estimator to determine your eligibility. The link opens in a new browser window.
Visit our Seven Steps to Apply Web page for CAPS students to learn step-by-step how the financial aid process works from application to acceptance.
Apply for financial aid as soon as your or your parent's 2007 federal tax return is prepared. This improves your chances of getting the funding you need. Start with the federal government, then look into state programs and private funding.
Watch out for individuals and companies that offer financial aid advice, often for very high fees. They seldom deliver what they promise.
