Types of Aid
There are several kinds of financial aid resources available, including waivers, grants, work study and loans.
Waivers and Grants
Waivers and grants do not have to be repaid; a waiver offsets a fee that you would normally have to pay and a grant is gift aid that you receive to pay for your college-related expenses, including the cost of living needs.
