Student Aid

Student aid refers to financial resources provided to help students pay for college or career training. This can include grants, which do not need to be repaid, scholarships based on merit or need, federal or state loans that require repayment with interest, and work-study programs offering part-time jobs on campus. The goal of student aid is to make higher education more accessible and affordable by easing the financial burden, enabling students to focus on their studies without excessive worry about costs. Applications often involve submitting financial information to determine eligibility for different types of assistance.
