Applying for Dental Hygiene Scholarships and Federal Student Aid

Educational scholarships are need-based, merit-based, and also chosen by other criteria. However, most schools ask students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before they receive any scholarship money. The free application is online and takes about 8 weeks to process. The FASFA calculates a student’s financial needs using tax and family information. From this application, schools determine how much financial support a student needs.

Merit or achievement-based scholarships typically do not require students to complete the FAFSA. However, some colleges and universities may still ask students to complete the FAFSA each academic year based on the school’s policies. So, check with your school.
