Grants are "Need-based aid" that students do not have to repay as long as they maintain the requirements to keep them. This page highlights the grants that students may be eligible for by completing a financial aid application each year.
Federal Grants are funded by the U.S. Department of Education. To apply and be considered for these Grants, students must submit a Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) every year. As mentioned above, these Grants are need based. Meaning, not all students who file a FAFSA will be eligible for this type of aid.
