FAFSA is a free application for federal, state, and institutional grants, work study, and federal student loans. Grants are a type of financial aid that is typically based on financial need and doesn't typically have to be repaid. These funds can come from a variety of resources, like the federal or state government or the college. Work study is a way for students to earn money to help pay for school. Students can get a job through the college to help them earn money to pay for their educational expenses. Student loans are money you borrow to pay for college that must be repaid later with interest.
