ABOUT SFRC

 

Student Financial Resource Center (SFRC) is an independent organization devoted to helping students apply for and receive the best available free merit and need-based financial aid. SFRC conducts general searches to match student's qualifications and background to key federal, state, local, and private financial aid programs that are both merit and need-based. SFRC provides students with a comprehensive SFRC financial aid guidebook that explains all of the basics of financial aid and offers valuable tips, practical strategies, and clear guidelines for applying to SFRC’s specifically selected free merit and need-based financial aid programs.

SFRC offers the following unique benefits to students:

• SFRC saves students valuable time by conducting precise general research to match student's qualifications and background to available free merit and need-based financial aid programs.

  SFRC provides students with a comprehensive resourceful guidebook containing essential financial aid information, a list of free merit- and need-based financial aid programs, and clear instructions on how to apply to our specifically selected sources—all in one convenient, multipurpose package.

  SFRC protects students from e-mail SPAM. When you search the Internet for financial aid opportunities, most financial aid websites ask for your e-mail address before you can access their database so they can send you e-mails you did not ask for and do not need.

  SFRC provides students with a concise list of free merit- and need-based financial aid programs that  appropriately match their specific backgrounds and qualifications. Most financial aid websites merely offer unwieldy and unusable lists of financial aid resources that are irrelevant to students’ qualifications and background.

  SFRC encourages students to apply to all available financial aid programs, not just those at the federal and state level. Many students only fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), failing to research or apply to the many other non-federal local and national merit and need-based financial aid programs available.

  SFRC does not sell students' names, emails, or home addresses to outside vendors. We strictly adhere to the Privacy Act Laws and do not share students’ personal information with any outside organizations.

  SFRC protects students from superfluous commercial advertising. Most financial aid websites claim their information is free, then, they attempt to lure students to subscribe to or pay for unwanted items such as magazine subscriptions, car loans, books, auto insurance, student loans, college admission, or credit card offers. The SFRC website and literature have no hidden check boxes that attempt to sell, advertise, or promote any commercial products.

Studies have shown that a large number of students do not apply for all of the free merit and need-based financial aid programs available to them. SFRC can increase students’ chances of obtaining free merit and need-based financial aid programs. You can take advantage of our specialized timesaving services or you can simply invest your own time to find and apply to the numerous free financial aid programs that are readily available to you. Do NOT borrow money to pay for your college education until you have fully exhausted all of the free money opportunities that are out there. Good luck, and best wishes for your successful educational future!
