This brochure contains information about finding federal, state, and other sources of information about student financial aid for college. The brochure advises that most of the information private college scholarship search companies provide can be obtained for free elsewhere. Students should ensure that they are not paying for free information, and that if they decide to use a private company, they know what they are getting for their money. This guide suggests some places the college applicant can look for information about financial aid, highlighting federal and state government sources and some private sources of free information.
