FINANCIAL AID / PELL GRANT / STUDENT LOANS

            In all instances of financial need, the student will make inquires to the Administration office during or prior to their interview, and possible program eligibility can be discussed.
The U S Department of Education offers a grant to students who qualify for financial assistance.  It is based on your total household size, income of the previous year, cost of attendance and other factors.  You will be responsible for applying on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov (our school code is #011744).  The student will also need to complete the school’s Financial Aid Application.  The student does not have to repay grant money, but a grant may not completely cover your total tuition charges, if this is the case, then the student is responsible for their tuition balance, which can be made in payments, or the student may apply for student loans.  For dependent students, the parents may choose to apply for a Parent Plus loan.  Parent Plus loans are based on credit, therefore, a credit application must be completed by the parent applying for the loan.

NATIONAL’S ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

            Student’s with family income too high to qualify for Federal Assistance, or do not wish to take out a personal loan, may inquire in the Administration office about our tuition payment options.
Tuition may be divided into payments that correspond with the number of months that the student is enrolled.  There is no interest added to this plan, but the balance must be paid in full by graduation.  The minimum monthly payment is $500.00 with the balance of the contract due upon completion of the program.
