Our types of financial aid page describes federal and private financial aid programs and how to apply. Most aid is in the form of student loans that must be paid back. Higher education is an important investment in your future. Many families receive some financial aid—yours probably will, too.
Looking for federal financial aid? It is often available on a first-come, first-served basis, so submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be at the top of your to-do list! Visit the FAFSA website for more information.
