OVERVIEW
The Department (ED) will provide more than
$67 billion this year, about 70 percent of
all student aid, to help millions of
students and families pay for
postsecondary education.
If you're exploring options for paying for
college, see Find
Aid. You'll learn about the various
kinds of financial aid (loans, grants, and
work-study), how to apply, common myths,
and more.
Financial aid professionals at banks,
colleges, guaranty agencies, and other
postsecondary or lending institutions will
want to see our online
library of technical publications,
regulations, and policy guidance on the
administration of the student financial
assistance programs.
If you're looking for grant information
not related to student aid, please see Grants
and Contracts.
