Is financial aid available?
Since we are a Title IV school, if you are a US citizen or permanent resident you can apply for federal financial aid. If you think you might want to apply, fill out a FAFSA form from the US Department of Education. We do not determine your eligibility -- the US government does.
Mapping Your Future is a nonprofit public-service organization providing free resources for career, college, financial aid and money management information. Students can use the site to plan their education and finances, as well as do required entrance and exit loan counseling for student loans.

What kind of aid will I be eligible for?
If you are eligible for financial aid and already have a bachelor’s degree or higher, you will only receive subsidized or unsubsidized Stafford loans. Those who have not completed a four-year degree will generally be able to get a Pell grant and may be eligible for other types of grants. Your tuition will not be totally covered if only receiving Stafford loans. Also, because we are a vocational school, you will receive more financial aid once you start Practicum (third quarter).

Are private scholarships available?
Students can also apply for private scholarships. For a list of some scholarship resources, please contact the admissions specialist. When applying for scholarships, keep in mind that we are considered a vocational school.
