The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
The three types of financial assistance that can be applied for after grade 12 to study are Federal and State Aids (FAFSA), loan assistance, and student employment.
The Federal and State Aids (FAFSA) comprises what is known as the Federal Pell Grant aimed at low-income families. If you need much more than that, you can also apply to the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FESEOG). Every state in AMerica has its own grants aimed to help students with some financial aid.
Loan assistance is another option not so recommended because as with any loan, it has to be repaid plus interest. And this interest is what hurts most families and students that have the necessity to get extra money for education.
Another good option is to get a part-time job to get some extra money to invest in your education. This way you not only have the money for college, tuition, housing, or extracurricular activities, but you also gain experience in a real job that could benefit you in the years to come.
