Financial Aid & FAFSA
Financial Aid gives you money or loans to help with costs for school.
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a special form you fill out to see if you can get financial aid such as Pell grants and loans. It asks for some information about your family’s income to see how much help you might need.

If you have a disability and are in plan with Nevada Vocational Rehabilitation, they may be able to help pay for college or vocational training if it helps you get a job.
Grants and Scholarships
Grants and scholarships are like special awards that help students pay for college or other training after high school. Unlike loans, they don’t need to be paid back. Grants are usually given based on the student’s needs, while scholarships are often given for good grades, talents, or other achievements.
