奖助金 and 奖学金

奖助金 and 奖学金 can come from many sources including the federal 政府ernment, state 政府ernments (where you live and where you plan to attend school), the college you plan to attend, outside organizations, and non-profit groups

A grant is a type of financial aid that does not need to be repaid and is usually based on financial need.

奖学金 are financial awards based on area of study or merit, and also do not have to be repaid. 奖学金 can be earned based on your talents or performance in a variety of areas. Some 奖学金 are also based on financial need, which may be determined by a student's FAFSA results.

贷款

A loan is money you borrow and must pay back with interest. Student loans can come from the federal 政府ernment or from private sources such as a bank or financial institution. 贷款 made by the federal 政府ernment, called federal student loans, usually offer borrowers lower interest rates and have more flexible repayment options than loans from banks or other private sources.

勤工助学

Work-study is a federal student aid program that provides part-time employment while you are enrolled in school to help pay for your education. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student’s course of study.

Please be aware that any outside resources received could result in an adjustment to your original financial aid package.
