Student Aid

 

Grants vs. Loans - what's the difference? 

Grants are disbursements which do not require repayment.  Loans

 

Federal loans generally offer you the lowest interest rates and fees. However, some federal loans have eligibility limits that could prevent you from borrowing as much money as you need. That's where alternative loans come in. These can help you close the gap.
