April Spotlight

Students who’ve completed their FAFSAs should start receiving financial aid offers any time now. At UCanGo2.org, we want to make sure you and your parents understand everything you need to know when the offer arrives so you don’t miss out on any important financial aid you may be entitled to!

Understanding Your Financial Aid Offer

To help students and parents, Federal Student Aid has provided an article on How to Evaluate Your Aid Offers. This article will help you understand what you’re being offered, how to prioritize which aid to accept and what you should do if additional funds are necessary to cover your educational expenses. If you still have questions, this presentation will explain who to contact to make sure you have all the information you need to make these decisions.

Are You Looking for Money?

After you’ve applied for aid and learned what you may receive from the institutions you’re interested in, you might still need additional funding. If this is the case, review our publication Are You Looking for Money?, which will help explain all types of aid you might be eligible for and how to search for it.

Are You Looking for Money? has information on grants, scholarships, work study, and federal student loans to help Oklahoma students and their parents learn about the types of federal and state aid available to them.

State Aid

Your financial aid offer won’t just include federal aid – the state of Oklahoma also provides aid for eligible students. If you have received your financial aid offer and are interested in attending a college in Oklahoma, you might be eligible for some state aid programs.
