There are endless scholarship opportunities available, if you know where to look. Below, we’ve rounded up local resources, along with some of the largest national scholarship search tools, to help you find the money you need for college.

Work-Study: Qualifying for work-study gives you an opportunity to work part-time while going to school and helps you pay for your schooling.

Florida State Aid: The State of Florida offers financial assistance to students through grants, like a grant for students whose parents didn’t go to college. See all state of FL financial aid opportunities including the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.
