Explanation:

The federal government often uses grants as a form of financial aid to encourage students in specific academic areas. Grants for academic achievement in sciences, math, engineering, and critical - language fields directly support students' studies. Paid internships (A) are more industry - led. Guaranteeing employment (C) is not a typical financial - aid - based federal approach. Canceling student - loan interest (D) is a broader measure not specifically tied to encouraging study in these targeted areas.

Answer:

B. by awarding grants for academic achievement in these areas
