Tips for Getting Started:
1. Apply for financial aid as soon as your 2008 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.
2. Watch out for individuals and companies that offer financial aid advice, often for very high fees. They seldom deliver what they promise.
