Scholarships
Undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships are forms of aid that help students pay for their education. Unlike loans, they do not have to be repaid. Hundreds of thousands of scholarships and fellowships from several thousand sponsors are awarded each year.
Loans
A loan is a form of financial aid that must be repaid, with interest. (Scholarships, on the other hand, do not have to be repaid.)
Military Aid
This page provides information about student financial aid resources for students who are interested in pursuing careers in the military and for veterans and their dependents. The information on this page is intended primarily for US citizens.
Financial Aid Applications
You should apply for aid every year, even if you think you don't qualify. There are many factors affecting eligibility for financial aid. For example, a student who didn't qualify one year might become eligible during the next year when a brother or sister enrolls in college. A change in family financial circumstances might affect your eligibility for student aid.
Other Types of Aid
In addition to the primary sources of financial aid (loans and scholarships), other kinds of aid are available to many students.
