Because price is of a paramount importance to many students and to many of their parents,
here is a thumbnail sketch of the kinds of student financial aid that may be available:
- Grants do not need to be repaid. Some are awarded based on financial need; others
recognize academic ability or performance in areas such as music, or athletics.
- There are many scholarships sponsored by foundations, corporations, or other organizations.
- Loans must be repaid, usually starting after graduation. Many education loans feature
low interest rates and generous payback schedules. The federal government sponsors
a number of student loan programs, as do some private lenders and colleges themselves.
- Jobs on campus or during summer breaks provide income to offset expenses and can be
important sources of experience.
