I'm often asked "How do I accept my financial aid?" or "Where do I see what my financial aid award is?"

If you receive grants, there is no action needed - the college assumes that you will accept a grant since a grant does not need to be paid back. The same applies for scholarships, though students have to submit a thank you letter before the scholarship can be applied to their account.

Loans are different. Loans have to be paid back. Loans charge interest and the two most common types are subsidized and unsubsidized loans (learn more at this link). It's important that you understand your responsibilities and obligations regarding loans.
