financial aid office

Student loan center

A financial aid office is the department at a college or university that handles student funding—scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs.

Students visit the financial aid office to apply for assistance, understand their award packages, or resolve billing issues: I need to stop by the financial aid office to fix my FAFSA.

The term often appears in the compressed form financial aid: Have you talked to financial aid yet?
