Eligibility for financial aid is determined based on several factors, including your financial need, citizenship status, and enrollment in an eligible program. Complete the FAFSA to receive a determination of your eligibility.

Financial aid encompasses a range of options, including:

• Grants: Need-based assistance that does not need to be repaid.
• Loans: Funds borrowed for education that must be repaid with interest.
• Work-Study: Part-time employment opportunities that help you earn money for educational expenses.
• Scholarships: Free money awarded based on various criteria such as academic performance, talent, or community service.
