Most federal student aid is need-based, taking into account an expected family contribution (EFC). Need-based financial aid comes in three basic types:

1. Grants and scholarships, which are considered gift aid and generally don't have to be paid back (sometimes a repayment is required
if a student withdraws);

2. Work-study, which is money that you earn by working part-time while in school; and 3. Loans, which are funds that you (or your parent) borrow and must be paid back, usually after you leave school.

The following chart details the main federal student aid programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Not all schools participate in all of the programs listed.
