Financial Aid can help you pay for your studies at any approved college. It is provided by various agencies, including the federal and state governments, private organizations, and the college itself.

Financial Aid is meant to supplement your family's ability to pay for college costs: tuition/fees, room and board, books, supplies, transportation, and other education expenses. Financial aid eligibility is based on financial need or some other standard of eligibility.

Financial Aid comes in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, and campus based aid. Grants include aid the student receives that does not need to be repaid. Loans must be repaid. Interest rates and repayment terms vary by program.
