The next level for obtaining financial after Federal Student Aid is from the state government in which you reside. Most states, if not all states, have financial aid in some form for students who reside in that state and plan to attend college in that state. Each state varies in how they approach student financial aid. You will need to visit your state's Department of Education or Higher Education Agency website for information on the education programs, colleges and universities, financial aid assistance programs, grants, scholarships, continuing education programs, and career opportunities that are available. We have provided these websites and contact information by state below for your convenience.
