Got three minutes? Then you’ve got time for college.

Presented by the University of Arizona’s Office of Early Academic Outreach
0:16
This is Paying for College. If you’re like most students, your biggest
0:20
concern about going to college is having the money to pay for it. But what if you knew
0:24
there were people who want to help you pay for college?
0:26
This is the idea behind financial aid. You go to college, and someone else invests in
0:31
your potential by providing you scholarships, grants, or loans. These investors include
0:36
both individuals and organizations, like foundations, companies and the government.
0:41
So what are the differences between scholarships, grants and loans?
0:45
Scholarships are merit-based, meaning you earn it through hard work, like good grades,
0:49
involvement in clubs and sports, community service or personal experiences. Usually,
0:54
scholarships are free money, meaning you don’t have to pay it back.
0:58
Grants are also free money. Grants come from either the federal or state government, and
1:02
are awarded based solely on financial need. The government can only determine your need
1:06
after you have filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which is commonly
1:10
known as the FAFSA. The FAFSA can also give you access to federal
1:14
student loans. These loans are different from car or home loans because they often carry
1:19
much lower interest rates, and can delay repayment until after graduation. There are four types
1:24
of loans: subsidized, unsubsidized, parent and private.
1:29
Subsidized loans are the best loan option, because the federal government “pays”
1:33
the interest while you’re in school. This means you don’t accrue any additional debt
1:36
from the loan until you graduate. For example, if you take a $2000 loan your
1:41
first year, you will owe just $2000 when you graduate.
1:44
Unsubsidized loans are the same, except you pay the interest, and it starts accruing when
1:51
you initiate the loan. So, if you take a $2000 loan your first year, you will owe more than
1:57
$2000 when you graduate because of interest. Parent loans are another type of loan to help
2:04
pay for college expenses. These loans are in the parent’s name, not the student’s.
2:08
For parent loans, repayment begins immediately, with interest accruing the moment you take
2:13
out the loan. The final type of loan is a private loan.
2:17
This loan can only be taken out from a private bank, and does not require you to complete
2:21
a FAFSA. Private loans often have higher interest rates, and should only be used if you have
2:25
no other options. The final form of aid is Federal Work-Study.
2:30
Work-study is also awarded through the FAFSA. However, unlike grants and loans, you do not
2:35
receive a lump sum of money. Instead, work-study aid comes in the form of a paycheck for working
2:40
a part-time job on-campus. Work-study experience is very desirable to employers because the
2:45
federal government pays 75% of the student’s wages, while the employer, which is usually
2:50
the university, pays only 25%. In addition to these opportunities, both the
2:56
University of Arizona and Arizona State University have programs that can assist students from
3:01
low-income families. The Arizona Assurance program ensures that students admitted to
3:06
the UA will be able to attend the University for four years, with little or no debt upon
3:10
graduation. The university meets their financial need with scholarships, grants, and federal
3:16
work-study opportunities.

If you could give one piece of advice to other students to help them win scholarships, what would it be?
 One piece of advice I have: “Just put yourself out there”. Even if you feel that you are going to get denied, just apply because you are not for sure. If your GPA is low, they may see potential in the story you’ve provided them with about yourself. Apply for as many scholarships as possible, there is money.
