Student financial aid

Student Financial Aid refers to financial resources provided to help students pay for their education. This can include grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study programs. Grants and scholarships typically do not need to be repaid, while loans do. Financial aid can come from federal and state governments, colleges, and private organizations. The application process often involves filling out forms like the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine eligibility based on financial need. Overall, student financial aid helps make education more accessible by reducing the financial burden on students and their families.
