Financial aid is financial funding available for higher education which can include grants (free money that you don't pay back), scholarships (free money that you don't pay back), or loans (money you do pay back). Students will apply for one financial aid application - FAFSA or TASFA. Based on the student's financial background, they may be eligible to receive some or all of these financial aid options. Students will then have the opportunity to accept or decline their financial aid options once they receive their financial award letter. In order to receive a financial aid award letter, the student will need to apply for the college or university and apply for one financial aid application.
