FINANCING YOUR COLLEGE EDUCATION
With the ever increasing cost of college, finding the means of paying for one’s college education can be rather challenging. There are great opportunities available to college-bound students, regardless of his/her financial need. These range from financial aid (offered by both the federal and state government) to funds from private funders, such as corporations, civic clubs, and private organizations. Close to 150 billion dollars are awarded to more than 20 million students each year. Despite the fact that these numbers increase each year, many students who are eligible to receive financial assistance do not get aid due to their lack of knowledge of available resources. The search for money for college can be both time consuming and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be with the availability of a proper structure. CRAMS Consulting’s team does a big portion of the research, so our students don’t have to.

This information is gathered from the scholarship bulletin, which is provided to our scholars on a monthly basis. CRAMS Consulting’s participants are given a wide range of assistance with finding adequate funds to finance their college education, thus removing one of the major barriers to college access. CRAMS Consulting participants can expect to access the following resources:
