As a student at one of Southeastern University’s partner sites, you may be eligible for federal and state financial aid.  Whether or not you plan to use loans to help you cover your higher education costs, it is important that you fill out the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) to determine your financial need and to see if you are eligible for grants and scholarships.  When applying for the FAFSA, students should use Southeastern University’s school code: 001521.

This is a really common way to help offset tuition costs, by leaning on the community of people God's placed around you - like extended family members, neighbors, or individuals at your church. Just last year, a student raised more than he needed using GoFundMe - in less than a week! This approach can work really well if you're willing to ask and tell your story to as many people as it takes. Connecting the dream God has given you - that you're pursing at Thrive School - with such a tangible action people can take to help you can be very effective. Be willing to see your goal fulfilled $25 at a time.

This may sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people don't think of this as a way to help pay for their education at Thrive College. Picking up a part time job, or just adding extra shifts if you're already working, can add up fast - especially if you're living at home, and don't have to worry about paying rent while you save money.
