Financial Aid Overview
Most student financial aid comes from federal government programs, which the U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid (FSA) office administers. Financial aid provides help if you're enrolled in an eligible program as a regular student at a school participating in our federal student aid programs. Federal aid covers school expenses, including tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation. Student Aid can also help pay for a computer and for dependent care. There are three categories of federal student aid: grants, work-study, and loans. Check with your school to find out which programs your school participates in. How do you apply for federal student aid? Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)—the online version (FAFSA on the Web) or the paper FAFSA. For more information on applying, click here. For FAFSA on the Web, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov (or to www.studentaid.ed.gov and get general student aid information as well). Using FAFSA on the Web is faster and easier than using paper.
