MUNICIPAL COURTS – ENHANCING YOUR MUNICIPAL COURT CAREER Professor Ana M. Otero
Where to Start (Financial Aid)
The place to start your criminal justice/paralegal financial aid search is with the federal government. First of all, you’ll need to complete the FAFSA in order to determine the types and amount of federal aid for which you qualify. Federal aid includes grants, work-study awards, and loans. It’s also the largest single source of available aid. To get your share, complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 of the year in which you intend to enroll.
After you have filed the FAFSA, it’s time to look into grants and scholarships, especially those earmarked for criminal justice and paralegal students. Online scholarship search engines can often provide details on scholarships about which you may not be aware. Also try entering terms such as “criminal justice
scholarships” or “criminal justice awards” into a search engine, such as Google. This is a particularly good way to gain an overview of the many school-sponsored
awards for which you may qualify. The Following are websites to help you search for financial aid online. They are all free services, however many require that you set up a profile to access the information.
