Federal Work-Study provides part-time jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial needs, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and student-to-student assistance.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
is a federal assistance grant reserved for college students with the greatest need for financial aid to attend school
