Financial aid helps you pay for college

Financial aid is money or funding that can help you cover tuition, books, course fees and other school-related expenses. Most U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens can receive financial aid if they demonstrate financial need and are enrolled in an online degree or certificate program.

The FAFSA helps you obtain financial aid

FAFSA, also known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is an application for U.S. citizens that allows them to obtain the financial aid needed to earn their college degree.

What’s the difference between FAFSA and financial aid?

The FAFSA is an application that allows you to apply for federal financial aid, such as grants and loans, based on your individual financial needs. This is a path for U.S. citizens to determine how much aid they’re eligible for.

Financial aid refers to the different types of aid you can use to pay for your degree, including scholarships, grants, loans and work-study programs. You can fill out the FAFSA to obtain federal financial aid, but you may also seek other forms of financial aid, such as scholarships, outside of the FAFSA.
