There are many sources of aid available, including grants, scholarships and loans. Money is available to those who need it most, based on family income and ability to pay. These include federal Pell Grants, state grants and a wide range of scholarships awarded from colleges and organizations. Federal Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. For many students, Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to which other aid may be added.
