What is Financial Aid?

Financial aid provides the financial support you need to pay for college or career school. This support can come in the form of grants, work-study opportunities, loans, and scholarships, all designed to make your education more affordable.

Grants

A grant is a type of financial aid that you don’t need to repay, except in specific circumstances like withdrawing from school and owing a refund, or not fulfilling the service obligation for a TEACH Grant. There are several federal grants available,

  • Pell Grants

  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG),

  • Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants, and

       Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants.

Scholarships

Numerous nonprofit and private organizations provide scholarships to assist students with college or career school expenses. These scholarships, often awarded based on academic merit, talent, or a specific field of study, offer valuable financial support to help you manage your educational costs.

Loans

A loan is borrowed money that you are required to repay with interest. If you apply for financial aid, your school's financial aid package may include loan options. When you take out a student loan, you are borrowing funds to cover the costs of college or career school, and you will need to repay both the principal and the accrued interest. Understanding your repayment options is crucial for managing and repaying your loan effectively.

Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study Program enables you to earn money for your education through part-time employment. You will earn at least the federal minimum wage, though you might earn more based on the job type and required skills. The total amount you can earn through work-study is determined by

  • when you apply,

  • your level of financial need, and

  • your school’s funding level

Applying for FAFSA

Colleges and career schools use the FAFSA form to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.
You must apply for aid every year, but with the right information in hand, it's easy.
