The amount and kind of aid you get is based on your financial need, your academic record, and on the kinds of aid available at the school you attend. The package is put together by a financial aid office at the school or college from information you provide. Financial aid applications are available from most high school counseling offices and college financial aid offices. Loans are typically repaid after you leave school at much lower interest rates than regular bank loans. Work programs provide money you earn.
Jobs are usually on campus and sometimes related to career goals or fields of study.
Private and special aid programs include aid offered by private organizations or individuals. Military-Related Financial Aid are financial aid opportunities that come with joining the military.
