Loans, unlike grants or work-study, are borrowed money that must be repaid, with interest. These are real loans -- just like car loans or mortgages.
Loans cannot be cancelled because you are having financial difficulty or for any other reason.
These loans are a serious obligation, so think about the amount you'll have to repay over the years before you take out a loan.
