Almost every post-secondary institution that you apply to will
offer scholarships and financial aid for incoming freshmen.
These opportunities
are not available through the high school guidance office but rather by
contacting the college or university's Office of Financial Aid. The webpage of
the college or university that you are considering should have a link to
incoming freshman scholarships and the steps needed to apply. These
scholarships are going to be more competitive at the major state universities
(IU, Purdue). Private colleges/universities tend to offer more opportunities
for scholarships to help offset the much higher tuition costs. Bottom line:
Contact the college or universities Office of Financial Aid.
