Online Colleges - What kind of Financial Aid is available?
Question:
Answer:
You could get a pell grant to pay for college classes that you take over the internet as long as the college is legitimate. You can easily check to see if the online college is real by searching for them online at the FAFSA website. Go to this website and see if you can locate the school you are thinking of attending.

If you search and locate the school then everything is alright. You should fill out a FAFSA application for free student aid from the government. On the application they will ask you which colleges you are thinking about attending so make sure to list the online college as one of your choices. If you search and are unable to locate the school then I would contact them for their federal school code. If they don't have one, they are not a legitimate college and you should consider attending school elsewhere.
If it is an accredited school, then yes, you will qualify for financial aid just as you would any where else.
