I already have two sons in college, and my younger sister has been asking me questions about how to finance her daughter’s college education.  Her daughter is in the process of making some important decisions about her future!

I’ve told her to get started by going to the Internet website Scholarships.com.  That website is a free service that has 2.7 million grants and scholarships worth over $19 billion listed.   They will match up the scholarships according to her interests, academics, and talents.  It lists federal financial aid and provides local and national scholarship information.    

That website is a great starting point in planning for financial aid for college!
