If teaching is your career path, the Career Ladder Office encourages you to "invest in yourself!" by considering financial aid.
Below is a list of recommended websites identified as basic sources of financial aid information for aspiring future teachers. Individuals often ask themselves, "Is it worth the effort?" To answer this question, divide the amount of financial aid you anticipate needing/receiving by the number of hours it takes you to apply for the aid. Example: A $12,000 scholarship takes 3 hours to complete the application; that is equivalent to $4,000 per hour! Think about it.

A word of caution: Information about financial aid and scholarships is free. Steer clear of sites and services that request money. The same should hold true when applying for financial aid and scholarships. You are trying to get money, not pay money.
