Every state in the U.S. knows the value of having young people with a college education in its population. That’s why they offer grants to help students like you pay for college. Here are the different ways they may offer these grants.
- Some states give grants if you go to a college in the state (even if it’s a private college).
- Some states give grants if you agree to work in the state after you graduate.
- And some states give special scholarships if you are training for a career in which that state needs skilled people.
