Types of Financial Aid

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

Every student who meets certain eligibility requirements can get some type of federal student aid, regardless of age or income.

Those who are eligible meet the following basic requirements:

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.
