Federal Student Aid

aid: federal-student-aid
name: Federal Student Aid
description: The Federal Student Aid (FSA) office of the U.S. Department of Education provides grants, loans, and work-study
  funds to eligible students enrolled in college or career school. FSA operates StudentAid.gov as the consumer portal for
  managing federal student loans, completing the FAFSA, and exploring repayment options. FSA does not currently publish a
  public, open developer API program; aggregate higher education and aid data is redistributed through the Department of Education's
  open data programs such as the College Scorecard API.
