Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Department has been established to provide assistance through grant and loan programs to qualifying students. The financial need of the student is assessed before financial aid is provided. This policy is based on the premise that the primary responsibility for financing an education belongs to the student.
A financial aid package, which includes information and an application for grant and loan programs, is provided for each student. Other resources such as Social Security and Veterans Educational benefits will be considered in establishing a student's financial need. The student is not required to accept all forms of financial aid offered. All outstanding tuition not covered by financial aid will be the sole responsibility of the student.
The policy of the school is to initially fund a student's first academic year (30 weeks and 24 Title IV credit hours). For maximum financial aid eligibility, the student must have 30 weeks and 24 Title IV credits hours per academic year. Students enrolled in programs longer than one academic year will fund their second academic year at the completion of 30 weeks and 24 Title IV credit hours.
All applicants must see a Financial Aid Officer to complete the necessary documentation. The Financial Aid Department recognizes that each student's situation is unique; therefore, each application is kept confidential and is analyzed and considered on an individual basis.
All financial aid programs require recipients to be citizens or eligible non- resident citizens of the United States. Students on an F-i Visa are ineligible for financial aid programs. Immigrant students must submit immigration documents to determine eligibility for financial aid programs.
All necessary paperwork must be promptly submitted before Title IV funding is disbursed. For students with previous post-secondary education, Title IV funds will not be disbursed until all financial aid transcripts are received from those institutions.
All campuses are approved by the Department of Education and are eligible institutions for Title IV assistance programs. Students may apply for ally program listed in this catalog without regards to race, sex, creed, age, or national origin.
