Financial Aid

What Is Financial Aid? Financial aid is money in the form of loans, grants and employment that is available to students to help pay the cost of attending a college, university or vocational/technical school. Financial aid comes from the federal government, which is the largest provider of aid, as well as state government, schools and a variety of other public and private sources.

Merit-Based Aid Merit-based aid is given to students who have a special characteristic, skill, talent or ability. Financing Your Education Financing Your Scholarships and/or tuition waivers are examples of merit-based aid. Merit-based aid is usually a gift that does not have to be paid back, although students who get merit aid sometimes have to promise to teach or perform some other service when they finish school.
