How financial aid works:
Financial aid is money from the federal government, state government, or your school that can help you pay for tuition, labs, room and board, and other living expenses as you attend school. It can come in these forms:
-
Scholarships
-
Grants
-
Work-study
-
Federal student loans
While you don’t have to pay back scholarships, grants, and work-study, you will need to repay any federal loans that you borrow for school.
The first step in finding out if you’re eligible for financial aid is filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
