How to Pay For College

Loans--must be paid back, ex. Perkins
Grants--Government money that does not have to be paid back ie. Pell.

Scholarships can be from the college, different ethnic/religious groups, sports, corporations, etc. Scholarships do not have to be paid back.
Work Study--As a part of your financial aid package you have a job on the college campus.
