Scholarships and grants are types of aid that do not need to be repaid. While grants are often need-based, scholarships are more likely to be merit-based. Both are offered through a wide variety of sources, from the federal government to state governments, colleges, private corporations and nonprofit organizations.
Start with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to determine your Expected Family Contribution, which may be used to determine your eligibility and award amounts.
