Additional Info
Scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment are all considered financial aid. Scholarships and grants are sometimes referred to as gift aid or free money. However, because loans must be repaid and student employment must be earned, they are sometimes referred to as self-help. Typically, applicants are offered a financial aid package consisting of a combination of awards from various types of aid programs.
