LEARNER RESOURCES
The Center strives to ensure that learners of all types – degree, credential, professional development-seeking – receive the appropriate information and access to resources to support their goals.
Financial Resources
Colleges and universities generally have an office dedicated to helping students understand their options and find and apply for financial aid. Contact the institution’s financial aid office as soon as you find a program you’re interested in. They can provide advice and counseling for your situation. Additionally, you can visit the Federal Student Aid website to guide you through applying for FAFSA and how to find and combine different types of aid.
