Quality education is a key contributor to the success of everyone in society. Limited access to spare cash, having low income, lack of savings, disabilities, or having dependents result in many people not being able to pursue their educational dreams. Thankfully, there is an abundance of options available for anyone who may experience these challenges.
Finding money for your education is fairly easy. There is a lot of information available on the internet in the form of “directories” that share the types of funding (money) available, explanations of who they are for, and how and where you can apply.
A few student loan, grant, and scholarship directory sites include:
