Financial aid comes in many forms, which means you may be tapping into multiple sources of funding when you pay for college. Most need-based aid comes from federal and state programs and requires that you fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Other aid can be awarded based on your academic merit, background, or through work study programs. Each student's financial status is different.
