You typically do not have to pay back a grant, as it is considered "free money" awarded based on financial need or other criteria. In contrast, a student loan must be repaid, usually with interest, after you graduate or drop below half-time enrollment. Therefore, grants are more advantageous for students seeking financial assistance for their education.
