Other Upward Bound website's recommend the following sites for researching colleges:
FAFSA
Filling out your first Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be a little scary! There are two ways to fill out this form: on paper, or over the internet. To apply for aid online, go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. This process is FREE. For more information about filing for federal aid, go to http://studentaid.ed.gov/. This site is in both English and Spanish.
Another place to start looking for financial aid is www.finaid.org
There are also many types of scholarships available. For an updated list, see our scholarships page.
Choosing a Career
Unsure of what to study in college? Most college students change their major several times. One way to investigate careers that interest you is to log onto http://neccjobs.com/majors/index.php
Maybe you know what you want to do, but would like to know what kind of wages you can expect to earn, or if there are likely to be jobs available when you graduate. For this kind of information, log onto www.nebraskaworkforce.com
