What is Financial Aid?
Financial aid is a deceptively short title for a significantly large number of programs and processes. Though the term "financial aid" is frequently used to describe any funds a student obtains to attend college, it is important to recognize different types of financial aid. Keeping it as simple as possible and ignoring the few exceptions, there are three major categories of financial aid, which include Grants, Loans and Workstudy.
