Start the process of applying for FAFSA at your earliest convenience. Look into local grants and scholarships as they can help reduce the financial burden of your education. Participating in work-study programs on campus can provide additional financial support, supplementing the funds you receive from scholarships and grants.

The smartest move you can make is to explore various scholarships to lighten the load of loans. There are plenty of scholarships out there that you might qualify for based on different criteria. If you find yourself needing to apply for financial aid, be sure to keep an eye on the interest rates to avoid getting trapped in a cycle of debt. If you do choose a loan, make it a point to pay more than just the minimum payments. This way, you're chipping away at the actual loan and not just covering the interest. This approach can set you on a path towards financial freedom.
