Financial aid programs are composed of grants, scholarships, Federal Direct Loans, and Federal Work-Study. Grants and scholarships are referred to as “gift aid” because they are financial aid that doesn’t have to be repaid. Grants are usually awarded based on financial need, whereas, scholarships are awarded based on merit such as GPA, residency, academic program, etc. Loans are the only type of financial aid that must be repaid with interest. Students are encouraged to exhaust all grants and scholarships before considering student loans. Federal Work-Study provides part-time jobs to students demonstrating financial need to earn money to help pay for educational expenses.
