The Department of Education determines if a student is eligible for federal student aid. The determination is based on many factors and this is why the application is completed. The Department of Education reviews the information provided by the student on the FAFSA to calculate the amount of eligibility of both student loans and grants. Timing is critical depending on where you live. There is also a possibility of state grants, if you complete your FAFSA before the state deadline. Our Financial Aid team can help see if you qualify for these state grants. 3. Finally, Once Department of Education has determined your federal aid eligibility, the next step would be to locate any additional funds to help support your educational dream. Reach out to organizations to see if they offer any assistance. Local organizations could possibly offer grants or scholarships to students who are starting in a particular field.
