What is financial aid?

Financial aid is money set aside by the federal government, state, some colleges and universities, and private agencies to help people pay for a college education.

Financial aid can come in the form of grants, scholarships, work-study jobs, or loans.

Check with the Financial Aid Office to learn what types of aid are available.

In order to receive federal financial aid, you need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA.

The FAFSA can be found online at the Federal Student Aid website.

For more information visit the U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid website.
