College is Important and You Can Go

Studies show that the more education you have, the higher your income may be once you begin to work. Going to college can provide more job choices than you ever before imagined. Whether or not other family members ever went to college, this is an option for you!

There are more ways to pay for college than ever before. The federal government, colleges, community groups, and the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC) offer many scholarships, grants, loans, and other programs that can help you reach your educational and career goals.

It's Never Too Early to Start Saving for College

The earlier you start to save for college, the better. Starting to save for college early means you will have more money to use once you graduate from high school, and that you will have to find less money through scholarships, grants, and loans. The GA College Savings Plan offers a way for families to put aside money each month to help pay for college.

It's Never Too Early to Start Planning for College

Although you can receive need-based financial aid no matter what kind of grades you earn in high school, you should still be prepared academically for college. The Student Planner portion of GAcollege411 can help you select the right courses in high school to be the best prepared for college.

Then, once you begin looking at possible colleges to attend, look at the Career Info and GA Colleges sections of this website. These sections will help you match your career interests with colleges that offer courses and degrees in your selected field.

There is no need to pay for any scholarship or financial aid search. GAcollege411 is a free service that helps you learn about scholarships, grants, and work-study programs. This website provides links to national scholarship search programs that do not require a fee.
