INTRODUCTION Comment by Exploring Series: Please format this as Heading 1, as well as all paragraphs that are all caps.
Funding a college education can be an expensive and daunting task for parents. My business partner and I are recent graduates of a 2- or 4-year state institution, which provided us with first-hand experience on how to finance a 2- or 4-year education. We established this consulting business to educate parents on college funding and to help them maneuver the maze of scholarships and federal funding. We have written this comprehensive guide to college funding and to provide valuable information on FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), taking standardized tests, the college application process, and applying for scholarships.
FINANCIAL AID OVERVIEW
This section describes the process of obtainingfinding funds for the education process: Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), scholarships, and grants available to parents and students.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Information on the FAFSA form is often used by the government to determine eligibility for grants and scholarships, federal loans, and work-study. Universities and private scholarship organizations can also use the FAFSA information to assess eligibility for other aids.
Although financial aid deadlines vary among colleges, it is a good idea for you and your child to complete the FAFSA immediately after October 1 using the financial tax information for the previous year. To make sure that all information is current, the FAFSA must be updated every year that your child is in college.

Scholarships Comment by Exploring Series: Please format this as Heading 2, and all the other paragraphs that are display alone on a line in title case (the first letter of each word is capitalized).
There are many different types of scholarships. Scholarships from your school are known as institutional scholarshiops. Many universities offer their students a wide range of scholarshipps based on financial need or merit. Some students are afraid to apply to private colleges because of the higher tuition fees, but private colleges often have more award money than state universitites.
Scholarships from other people are known as external or private scholarships, which can come from private funders and agencies. These scholarships are often awards based on academic merit, athletic abilities, religious background hobbies, talents, creativity, etc.
Grants
The US federal government often award grants that need not be repaid based on the student’s financial needs. Examples of such grants include the federal Pell Grant, with a maximum of $5,920 for the academic year of 2017-2018. An advantage of the Pell Grant is that it will not reduce the amount of scholarships that a student obtains from other sources. Another federal grant is the federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), which is available to students with exceptional need. There is a maximum of $4,000 for this grant. In addition, the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grant is available to students who want to be a teacher in a high-need, low-income area.
