If you are a student, free money, also called grants, scholarships, or gift aid, is the best kind of financial aid because you don’t have to pay it back. Of course, there is a limited amount of money. Research shows that only about 50% of all college students get any of this free money. Still out of the 50%, most of those don’t get all they need. But if you know who gives it away and whom they like to give it to, you can increase your odds of collecting some.
