Are you wondering how you

will pay for college?

 Financial Aid and Scholarships come from various sources:

 Federal Government – to any school you plan to attend  Maryland Government – if you are attending college in

Maryland

 Institutional Aid – Check with the schools you are

considering attending on how to apply for their financial aid and scholarships

 Private Sources – You can find aid through employers, the local community and on the state and national level.

Types of Aid

 Scholarships are usually based on a student’s academic performance and involvement in extracurricular activities or sports. Some scholarships are based on financial need.  Grants are awards that may be based on financial need or

other eligibility criteria. Grants typically do not require repayment.

Loans, unlike grants and scholarships, must be repaid. Federal loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) and other educational loans may be made to students, parents, or

both. It is best to exhaust all federal options before turning to private loan sources.

(5)

Types of Aid Cont.

 Subsidized loans do not require borrowers to pay interest while in school (the federal government pays the interest on these loans).

 Unsubsidized loans require borrowers to pay

interest while in school or have it capitalized (i.e., added to the total loan amount).

Work-Study is a federal program that provides funds to students through jobs arranged by the college.
