Student Aid refers to financial assistance provided to help students pay for their education. This aid can come in various forms, including grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and loans. Grants and scholarships do not need to be repaid, while loans must be paid back with interest after graduation. To qualify for Student Aid, students often need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which assesses their financial need. Many colleges and universities also offer their own aid programs, and state governments may provide additional funding to support students in their pursuit of higher education.
