Fresno State students highlight financial aid options and work-study benefits

Fresno State students are discussing financial aid options, highlighting the importance of work-study programs. They emphasize that college expenses, like parking and textbooks, can quickly add up, making financial support crucial. Students like Jonathan Pineda and Evelyn Lozano benefit from various aid types, including grants, loans, and scholarships. Grants do not need to be repaid, while loans require repayment after a grace period. Pineda qualified for the Middle-Class Scholarship, which assists families with incomes up to $234,000. Both students encourage others to explore scholarship opportunities online to help manage college costs.
