State Grants

Even if you're not eligible for federal aid, you might be eligible for financial assistance from your state.

These agencies provide information on state education programs, colleges and universities, student aid assistance programs, grants, scholarships, continuing education programs, career opportunities, and some guaranty agencies.

You can search the U.S. Department of Education’s database at www.studentaid.ed.gov, for contact information and Web site addresses. At the site, click on “Funding,” then click on “State Aid.”
