College grants are still available for college bound students.  Make sure to apply as early as possible because funds are always limited.  Never say never.  Always apply if there is a chance for you to receive a college grant.

Make sure to fill out the FAFSA and the College Board info right away because colleges distribute 10% of the funds in January and February. If your taxes aren’t done use this years information as a place holder and update your online forms when you get it.
