"For the month of February, higher education institutions across the country celebrate Financial Aid Awareness Month. The purpose of this commemoration is to make college students and their families aware of crucial information about federal, state and institutional student aid," Fox News reports. 

..."Students often don’t realize the amount of financial aid available to them. In the 2020-21 academic year, institutions provided an estimated $57 billion in grant aid to undergraduate students according to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA). And, in the previous year, 84% of full-time, first-time undergraduate students received financial aid. "
