Scholarships and grants are terms for free money or gift money. Unlike loans, these awards of money do not have to be repaid. Colleges, corporations and federal and state agencies offer them.
There is a list of scholarship and grants in the 2008-2009 Northtown College Guide. Take the time to explore what opportunities for financing your education are out there for you. Good luck!
