Student loans are funds provided to a student for educational expenses and are considered self-help financial aid because you must repay the money loaned to you. Loans are the last type of aid for which you are considered, after gift aid and Work-Study. They are available to meet these costs. While students are studying full-time, the loans are interest-free.
