| It getting kinda late for this fall. The first thing you need to do before anything else is fill out a FAFSA if he hasn't already done so. That can be done online if you do a search there. It will also give you some links I think. Sallie Mae,is one place to get loans. You can probably check that out online also. try www.parentanswer.com/senior These are loans based on school choice and your credit rating...not income based. |

| Try www.fastweb.com. You can type in all your information, and it matches you to existing scholarships and e-mails the info to you. When I worked for a college, we suggested this site to all incoming students. It's free. |

| I agree that filling out the FAFSA is the first thing to do. Getting a grant from the Federal government is the quickest and easiest way to get some money for school as long as he qualifies for it. I also tried www.fastweb.com when I was a freshman at college (the link the previous poster suggested). It was alright... I ended up filling out about a dozen scholarship applications and none of them came through for me. So I stopped looking there. All of my scholarships ended up coming from the school. Most school departments will offer scholarships so be sure to give the department he is going into a call and see what they have available. |

| Yes, fill out the FAFSA and also to save some extra money. Try using http://www.koofers.com to buy your textbooks. They have a search engine that will help you find the cheapest books that you will need. Its really a great tool for college students |
