I have a question about financial aid.?

I was wondering what it is exactly, I heard from some people that the college would pay for all my fees when I study, so basically its like going to college for free. Others told me its more like a loan but a little better, they would pay for my college but eventually I would have to pay them back. So can anybody make it clear to me?

Also do i need some proof to show them if I wanna apply for it, because my income is good but its not very good, but its good enough to pay for my college if i needed to, but some of my friends told me its better if I take it so that I can take advantage of it. So can I get clear answers to everything about financial aid, because I don’t know anything about it, I always thought it was a loan but some people say different things.

Financial aid is any form of assistance related to school expenses. This can include:

a fee waiver – where the tuition and fees for your classes are paid

grants – money that does not have to be repayed and can be used towards the cost of attending school, such as tuition, books, rent, food, etc.

work-study – aid that is earned through a job (generally on the school’s campus) but is not used to calculate the student’s financial aid for the following year, which would occur with a regular job

loans – money that can be used to cover the costs of attending school, but must be repayed upon leaving school (graduation or dropping out)

scholarships – aid that is disbursed either directly to the student or to the student’s school; the ways this money can be used vary depending on the conditions stipulated by the issuer of the scholarship

You will need to do some more of your own research online and with your school’s financial aid office in order to get additonal information as well as answers specific to your situation. Good luck!

You can do research online. I got cal-grants when I went to college. Grants are money that you don’t have to pay back. That paid for most of my college. I only needed 1 loan. The best thing to do is go into your college’s financial aid office and ask what you need to do to apply for financial aid. There will be a lot of paperwork to fill out and your family will most likely have to provide income verification. Good luck!!
