Financial Aid Programs

Financial aid programs are designed to help students cover the costs of education, such as tuition, books, and living expenses. They include scholarships (which don’t need to be repaid), grants (often based on financial need), and loans (which must be repaid with interest). Aid can come from federal and state governments, colleges, or private organizations. The application process typically involves submitting a form, like the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which assesses financial needs and eligibility for various types of assistance. These programs aim to make education more accessible and affordable for all students.
