The basics of
financial aid
Grants are money you don’t have to pay back
and are typically based on financial need.
Scholarships are also free money for
college and are based on your area of study or on
merit, such as good grades, special talents or
community service.
Work-study or student employment
programs let you earn money for college in a job on
or off campus.
Loans are borrowed money that you must
repay with interest. If you do need to borrow, there
are federal loans that offer low interest rates and
other benefits.
