Types of Financial Aid

There are three different types of financial aid:

Grants

Grants are gifts of money that you do not need to repay. They are awarded based on financial need.

Work-Study

Work-study is financial aid that you earn by working at a university job. The opportunity is awarded based on financial need, and Career Services can then help you find a specific work-study position.

Student Loans

Student loans are borrowed money that you will need to repay after you leave school.

Scholarships

You can combine financial aid with scholarships: awards of money that you do not need to repay. Scholarships are usually based on your academic or personal achievements. They may also take into account your intended major, your financial need and other factors.
