Remember, scholarships are gifts. They don't need to be repaid. There are thousands of scholarships available! They may be offered by employers, individuals, private companies, nonprofits, communities, religious groups, professional and social organizations, and ODU.
Grants are another kind of financial aid that generally do not need to be repaid. Scholarships and grants based on financial need often use FAFSA data to determine eligibility. To apply for them, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year that you are enrolled.
