Evaluate the article
I believe this article was more than effective in explaining the financial aid system in the US. It touched on all types of loans and grants available for students, and how one can apply and receive all of them. Along with this, there was also lists of other financial options that are specific to each school such as parent loans, school scholarships, and grants provided by the school. After this, it broke down the different types of scholarships, and how each school is different, but also the wide variety of private scholarships available for students nation wide. This page also included a non-American student section which went over ways non American born citizens can receive financial aid while attending school in America. Lastly, this page included many useful tools such as a college loan debt calculator, lists of non loan schools, and loan caps and which schools can help with receiving no student loans.
