Each year billions of dollars are available to eligible students to purse a higher education. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine students’ eligibility for federal, state and campus-based financial aid. There are four categories of financial aid.

• Grants - which you don’t have to repay, but you must maintain satisfactory academic progress each semester as determined by the college.
  
• Scholarships - most of which are awarded based on your academic record and may or may not be renewable
  
• Work-study - campus employment with flexible hours to accommodate your class schedule
  
• Loans - must be repaid and may or may not accure interest while you attend college
