English-Spanish Glossary

Look up Spanish language financial aid terms.

A group of organizations from throughout the nation has created an English-Spanish glossary of standard terms relating to student financial aid and postsecondary education. The glossary aims to promote greater consistency in the vocabulary used in Spanish-language materials about higher education. Members of the initiative encourage teachers and counselors to use this glossary as a common reference.
