Financial Aid

Financial aid is money to help pay for college. You may get financial aid from the federal government, state governments, colleges and universities or other sources. Financial aid can come in the form of grants (money that doesn’t need to be repaid), scholarships (also called gift aid) and work-study opportunities (jobs on campus). Loans are also considered student financial assistance because they must be repaid after graduation or leaving school if you decide not to finish your degree program.

What determines how much you get in financial aid?

Princeton’s need-based financial aid program is based on the information you provide on the FAFSA, which can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The Office of Financial Aid will use this information to determine whether or not your family qualifies for assistance and how much they should receive from Princeton each year if they qualify.*
