鈥淔inancial aid鈥澛爄s a broad term that encompasses a variety of options, from gift aid that you don鈥檛 have to repay and loans that you do need to repay, to employment programs like work-study or assistantships. Review the types of aid and their requirements.
The types and amounts of aid you can receive are based on many factors, including your citizenship status, year in school, cost of attendance, and financial need. You must
file a FAFSA application yearly to be considered for aid on an annual basis. Financial need calculation is Financial Need equals Cost of Attendance (COA) minus Student Aid Index (SAI) minus other financial assistance (OFA).
