Grant programs provide up to $5,550* per year to those who qualify.
Unlike loans, you do not need to repay grants.
Grants are available and awarded by the government and private organizations to help eligible students pay for school.
Scholarships are given out by the government or by private companies. Your grades, heritage, religious affiliation, and other factors will help you qualify for these.
The US government also offers student loans to fund your education. You can pay these back at very low interest rates. *http://www2.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html
