Grants, Loans & Additional Funding

Federal Grants

The federal government provides grants for eligible students attending college or career school. Most types of grants, unlike loans, are sources of financial aid that generally do not have to be repaid.

Loans

Your financial aid offer may include a loan. A loan is money you borrow and must pay back with interest. Student loans from the federal government often have more favorable interest rates and terms than private loans (like those from a bank), but it’s best to explore all of your options.
