Once you have a plan in place for your education, you can start applying to post-secondary institutions. The process of applying differs depending on whether the institutions you are applying to are public or private, and on where they are located.
If you are planning to take out student loans, an important step to take before applying to the school of your choice is to ensure that school is designated for that purpose.
