A stereotypical version of students in college doesn’t include them doing that, but it’s certainly real for many students,” Goldrick-Rab says., unlike loans, don’t have to be paid back. Some are easy to apply for, while others take a lot of work.

These funds range from grants to loans to vouchers.
