When it comes to getting the funds you need to pay for college, there are many options and scholarships and grants available. For example, FAFSA. According to reports, In 2023, New York's high school students left more than 200-million-dollars unclaimed by not applying for FAFSA and submission rates are down 24-percent already this year when compared to last year.

Considering the cost of colleges and universities, why not at least try to get as much aid as possible?

It took me 15 years to pay back the school loans that I took out. I have zero regrets about the decision to take the loans. The biggest fail that I made was not seeking more "free" money and working. It makes a world of difference.
