Don't Leave Free Money on the Table

Why State Grants Should Be Part of Your College Funding Plan

When students think about paying for college, they often focus on federal financial aid, scholarships, and student loans. But there's one major source of funding that too many students overlook—state grants.

That oversight can cost you thousands of dollars.

Every year, states across the country provide millions of dollars in grant funding to eligible students. Unlike loans, state grants typically do not have to be repaid, making them one of the smartest ways to reduce the cost of earning a degree.

Why Students Miss Out

Many students assume completing the FAFSA is enough. While the FAFSA is an important first step, many state grant programs have their own deadlines, eligibility requirements, and application processes. Missing those deadlines could mean missing out on free money.

Some state grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, making it even more important to apply early.
