Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education, ensures that all eligible
Americans benefit from federal financial assistance—grants, loans and work-study programs—
for education beyond high school. By championing the promise of post secondary education, we
uphold its value as a force for greater inclusion in American society and for the continued vitality
of America as a nation.
