Congrats! You've been accepted to college. Now you just need to figure out how to pay for it. 

But before you start digging through your car for any loose change you can find, you might want to take some time to check out all of the resources available to help you pay for college in the state of Florida.

Heading off to college is an exciting time in your life. You get to experience the freedom of being away from home, learning from professors in your field of interest, and connecting with students who are embarking on a similar journey.

If you're like many young adults, going off to college is the first time you're wading out into the big, bad world of independent living.
