Financial Aid & Scholarships

  • What is Financial Aid? 

    Financial aid is a broad term encompassing various forms of assistance to help students afford education and training after high school.

    Money from financial aid helps students pay for education expenses, such as tuition, fees, and living costs. It can come from various sources like the federal government, state government, schools, and private organizations. Financial aid can be in the form of grants, scholarships, work-study, or loans.
