While included in the term “financial aid” higher education loans differ from scholarships and grants in that they must be paid back. They come in several varieties in the United States:
- Federal student loans made to students directly: No payments while enrolled in at least half time status. If a student drops below half time status, the account will go into its 6 month grace period. If the student re-enrolls in at least half time status, the loans will be deferred, but when they drop below half time again they will no longer have their grace period. Amounts are quite limited as well.

For many career paths, attending graduate school is a necessary next step. Doctors, lawyers, psychologists, librarians and teachers all require an advanced degree. Additionally, many choose to re-enter the world of academia after some years in the working world in order to further their level of expertise. However, the demands of graduate school are high, entailing a great deal of time, discipline, and money. The number of students enrolled in a graduate level program continues to rise annually - and many of those students become overwhelmed with how to finance these programs.
