Financial Aid and Scholarships

How to Apply for Financial Aid

What is Financial Aid?

The four types of financial aid are:

  • Grants

  • Scholarships

  • Loans

  • Work-Study programs

Grants and scholarships are gift aid and do not need to be repaid. Loans must be repaid. Work-Study programs are part-time jobs.

Need more information about how financial aid works? Check out the Fair Opportunity Project's College Admissions and Financial Aid Guide, or the Federal Student Aid website.
