Student Financial Aid
Social insurance programs whose benefits include financial assistance for the education of the covered individual and his or her eligible dependents.
Programs that provide or assist students to apply for awards which usually involve money and/or reduced tuition. Included are both needs-based scholarships which are awarded to outstanding students who are in financial need and honorary scholarships which are awarded on the basis of merit alone and normally carry a nominal monetary award. Scholarship funds come from many sources including private endowments, alumni contributions, college or university funds, individual departments or outside organizations.
Stipends for Student Living Expenses
Programs that provide financial assistance that helps to pay the living costs of students at all levels while in school. Stipends generally cover housing, utilities, transportation, food and other living expenses; and may be reserved for students who meet specific requirements, e.g., students who receive no financial support from their parents or are essentially homeless.
Programs that provide cash assistance for people who need additional financial support to pursue an educational or vocational program of study. Also included are programs that forgive past unpaid tuition fees for current or returning students who meet eligibility criteria.
