Financial Assistance 101Definitions of

Financial AssistanceThere are three basic types of financial assistance available to CTC students:

G r a n t s & S c h o l a r s h i p sBoth are “Gift Aid” money that you do not have to earn by working and it generally does not need to be repaid. The difference is that grants are primarily based on financial need, while a scholarship is usually based, at least in part, on merit.

T u i t i o n W a i v e r sThis is a special type of scholarship. It is different from grants and scholarships because it only pays tuition and not fees or any other student expense.

L o a n s This type of financial assistance must be repaid with interest by the student. The repayment is usually after the student leaves school or drops below half-time enrollment.
