What could I do to help get funding for tuition? #Fall25
I'm in a poor financial situation and I could use some tips beyond things like loans or the FAFSA (which has already been done).

Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.
College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.
You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, engineering or radiology, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.
Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.
All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

Hi Isaiah,
Great question! If I were in your position, I would:
- Apply for scholarships, especially those based on merit.
- Look for campus jobs or part-time work to support your studies.
- Reach out to educational NGOs or foundations for assistance. Many schools and colleges have resources to help students.
I hope this is helpful! Thank you!
