A loan is a form of financial aid that must be repaid.

There are three broad categories of loans: Federal student loans, in which the student is the borrower and the Federal government is the lender; Federal Parent loans, in which the parent of an undergraduate, dependent student is the borrower, and the Federal government is the lender; and private student loans, which are offered by private lenders.
