Title IV is Federal Student Financial Aid.  It is funds the government allows the student to apply for to assist the student with college tuition and expenses including any postsecondary education tuition and costs.  Title IV or Federal Student Assistance is obtained by the student completing and application called the FAFSA (Free application for Federal Student Aid) and submitting it to the U.S. Department of Education for review and calculation of need. If the student meets eligibility criteria mandated by the USDOE, they become eligible to receive a range of funds from the USDOE from a combination of Title IV programs.  These programs may be ‘free’ money or grants such as a Federal Pell Grant or Federal SEOG (supplemental education opportunity grant) or borrowed money such as the Student Federal Direct Loan or Parent PLUS loan.
