Title IV (Higher Education Act)

Title IV of the Higher Education Act refers to the federal programs that provide financial aid to students pursuing higher education. It includes the rules and funding for grants, loans, and work-study programs offered by the U.S. Department of Education. These programs help students pay for college by offering financial support based on need or merit, making higher education more accessible. Title IV ensures that participating institutions meet certain standards and are eligible to administer federal aid, promoting accountability and fairness in the distribution of funds.
