Morphology
The meaning 'money or resources given to help support...' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'financial' (related to money) with 'aid' (assistance). This straightforward compositional pattern (money-related + assistance) is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Financial aid comes from a simple picture: financial means 'money' and aid means 'help', so it is the idea of giving money to help someone. That's why financial aid means 'money or help given to support a person, group, or cause'.
