Financial aid comes in many forms, including scholar\u00ac ships, grants, subsidized loans, work-study programs, and (generally in graduate school) fellowships and assistantships. A school\u2019s financial aid administrator works with a student to put together a financial aid \u201cpackage,\u201d consisting of several types of aid, to meet the student\u2019s needs. Many types of federally subsidized financial aid will be suspended or terminated if a student is convicted of possessing or distributing drugs."}
