<p>Is it money you have to pay back once your done school? :S
Or is it basically a scholarship?</p>
<p>It’s usually a combination of grants (free money), loans, and work study. Usually, a combination of these three items will met “need”, but it really varies from school to school. If you are an international student, you may not be eligible for all (or perhaps any) of the types of financial aid the school offers.</p>
