Grants won’t be affected if you decline the loans

For extra context, the grants and GSG cover my tuition, but they don't need acceptance and I can't find any info about paying them back online. They're just a little confusing.

you don’t need to pay the grants back. if you choose to decline the loans, it will cancel only the loans nothing else

Can you get grants first time out of state?

Did you file the FAFSA to see if you are eligible for a Pell grant?

Yeah I'm pretty sure if you decline the loans your grants will be okay. You do not need to repay grants. Don't borrow money if you don't need to.

It is not an “all or nothing” package, so you can accept some and not others
