Pursuing secondary education can be quite costly, which can be very overwhelming for many people, since the costs of education seem to continue to rise. Do not let this stop you from going after your goals of pursuing education. A variety of grants exist to assist you in covering the costs associated with going to school. Hector Milla Editor of the "Free Scholarships And Grants" website -- http://www.FreeScholarshipsAndGrants.org/free-government-grants-money -- pointed out; The first step to looking into grants is to fill out your FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This application allows you to apply for the federal Pell grant, which can provide up to $5350 in money for school that does not have to be paid back. Once you fill out this form you will find out how much money you qualify for as soon as you are done Once your FAFSA is complete, look for grants that are available in your local state. Many states offer grants to a variety of students for a variety of reasons and in some cases, for a very sizable amount. For instance, California has the Cal Grant which can provide over $9000 to some students in the form of an education grant. Some of these grants are based upon academic achievement while others are based upon financial need. Once you have exhausted all resources available to you from the federal Department of Education as well as your state's Department of Education, turn to your college's financial aid office for assistance. Financial aid offices tend to be very familiar with local grants available to students in order to assist them in pursuing their college goals. Many of these grants are merit based, so be sure to keep your grades up to ensure that you qualify for as many grants as possible to fund your education. Also, you may wish to pursue a career field that is considered an at-need field, since there are many grants available to people that are pursuing careers that currently have a shortage of quality workers added H.
