        <div  class="newsletter-date"></div>
        <div  class="newsletter-txt">Figuring  out  how  to  pay  for  college  can  be  challenging.  But  there  are  resources  to  help!  The  FAFSA,  scholarships,  grants  and  programs  like  the  Prairie  Promise  can  help  make  college  more  affordable.  Students  can  significantly  reduce  their  expenses  by  exploring  financial  aid  options.  Financial  aid  is  available  from  the  University  of  Ãå±±½ûµØ  Springfield,  federal  and  state  programs,  and  outside  private  scholarships.  First-year  UIS  student  Evelyn  Martinez  explored  all  these  options  to  become  a  Prairie  Star.&nbsp;</div>
