Types of Financial Aid
Your FAFSA application will help you apply for various types of Financial Aid.

There are 2 categories of Federal Student Aid: Grants and Loans
Grants are money that does not have to be repaid. There are several types of grants available through the U.S. Department of Education and other sources.
Grant: Undergraduates with financial needs can receive a Federal Pell Grant for up to 12 semesters (or a total of 6 years).
Loans are borrowed money for college or career school that must be repaid. There are several types of loans available through the U.S. Department of Education:
Direct Subsidized Loans: For undergraduates who have financial needs. The U.S. Department of Education pays the interest while the borrower is in school and during grace and deferment periods.
Direct Unsubsidized Loans: For all undergraduate students. The borrower is responsible for all interests.
Direct PLUS Loans: For parents of dependent undergraduate students. The borrower is responsible for all interests.
