Financial aid is usually grouped into two main categories:

GIFT AID

Gift aid is financial assistance that you do not have to repay.  It includes need-based federal, state and institutional grants, all scholarships, veteran’s educational benefits and employer tuition reimbursement.

  

SELF-HELP AID

Self-help aid refers to educational loans or student employment.  It includes both student and parent federal loans, alternative loans (from private lenders, banks or guarantee agencies), federal work-study and assistantships.
