Financial Aid & Scholarship
How to pay for college
Financial Aid Overview
Financial aid helps students and their families pay for college by covering higher education expenses, such as tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation. There are several types of financial aid; these include grants, scholarships, work-study and federal or private loans
