Types of Financial Aid

-

Financial aid for credit students may be categorized into three types:

1

  Gift Aid

Gift aid includes grants and scholarships that you are not required to repay.  Grants are awarded on a need basis, while scholarships are awarded based on merit rather than financial need.

2

  Work-Study

Work-Study is an award that must be earned through employment. 

3

  Direct Loans

Direct Loans are low-interest loans to help pay for the cost of your education. A loan is money that you borrow and must repay with interest.
