TYPES OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

Know your options

We want to help you understand your potential funding options because the funding decisions you make today may impact your future. Let us help explain the two types of federal aid: federal grants and federal loans.

Need-Based Grants

Need-based grants are designed to assist students who demonstrate financial hardship and require additional support to afford their education. These grants are awarded based on a student’s financial situation rather than academic performance, ensuring that everyone has a fair opportunity to pursue higher education. Unlike loans, need-based grants do not have to be repaid, making them a valuable form of financial assistance for students from low-income backgrounds. These grants can be used to cover tuition fees, books, course materials, and sometimes even living expenses, allowing students to focus on their studies rather than financial stress.

Key Benefits:
  • No repayment required, making them a debt-free way to fund education.
  • Can be combined with scholarships and other financial aid options to further reduce costs.
  • Available for both undergraduate and graduate students, ensuring continued support throughout higher education.

Student Loans with Flexible Repayment Options

For students who need additional financial assistance beyond grants and scholarships, student loans provide another viable option. While loans must be repaid, we offer multiple loan programs with flexible repayment options, ensuring that students can manage their finances effectively after graduation. Government-backed loans often come with lower interest rates and deferred repayment options, allowing students to complete their education before beginning repayments. Private loans, on the other hand, may offer larger funding amounts but come with varying terms and interest rates. To make repayment easier, students can opt for income-based repayment plans, which adjust the monthly payment amount based on their post-graduation earnings.

Types of Loans Available:
  • Federal Student LoansThese government-backed loans offer low-interest rates and deferred repayment until after graduation, making them a reliable choice for many students.
  • Private Student Loans These loans, offered by banks and financial institutions, provide additional funding for students who need more financial support. Interest rates and repayment terms vary.
  • Income-Based Repayment PlansDesigned for students with lower post-graduation earnings, these plans adjust monthly payments based on income levels, ensuring manageable repayment.

By selecting the right loan program, students can secure the necessary funds for their education while maintaining financial stability after they graduate.

Merit & Performance-Based Grants

Merit-based grants are awarded to students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, leadership skills, or exceptional performance in extracurricular activities. These grants recognize and reward hard work, allowing students to access financial support based on their talents and contributions rather than financial need. Unlike loans, merit-based grants do not require repayment, making them an excellent opportunity for high-achieving students to reduce their tuition costs. Whether awarded for academic excellence, leadership qualities, or participation in extracurricular activities, these grants encourage students to strive for excellence in all aspects of their education.

  • Active involvement in extracurricular activities, such as sports, arts, or social initiatives, showcasing well-rounded abilities.

Merit-based grants not only provide financial relief but also recognize students' dedication and commitment to personal and academic growth. By rewarding exceptional performance, these grants encourage students to continue excelling in their chosen fields.

By offering a combination of need-based grants, student loans, and merit-based financial aid, we strive to make higher education accessible to students from all backgrounds. No matter your financial situation, there is an aid program designed to support your journey toward academic and professional success.
