Student Aid Programs
Student aid programs are financial resources designed to help students pay for higher education. They include grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and loans. Grants and scholarships do not need to be repaid and are usually based on financial need or academic achievement. Work-study programs provide part-time jobs on or near campus. Loans must be repaid with interest after graduation or leaving school. These programs aim to make college more affordable and accessible, helping students cover tuition, books, and living expenses, reducing financial barriers to higher education.
