Guide to Financial Aid
The term "financial aid" includes a wide spectrum of programs:
| Scholarships |
Scholarships do not have to be repaid. They are available from many sources, including the College, state agencies, professional and service agencies, private foundations and some employers. |
| Grants |
The largest and best-known source of grants is the Federal Pell Grant. Grants are awarded based on need and do not have to be repaid. |
| Loans |
Loans come from the federal government and must be repaid. They are reserved for undergraduate degree-seeking students who are enrolled at least half time. |
| Work-Study Jobs |
The Federal Work-study program allows students to earn money toward their education while they are going to school. Students are often placed in jobs related to their program of study. |
