FINANCIAL AID
We are approved by the Veteran's Administration, Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Work Force Reinvestment Act. Funding for your educational needs may be available if you meet their eligibility requirements. Please contact us for more information on any of these funding sources.
We are NOT eligible for Federal Financial Aid!!! We therefore, will have no code number listed in the FAFSA forms, and are not required to issue 1098-T forms to our students at tax time. These qualifications are based upon accreditation, and while we are CERTIFIED TO OPERATE BY THE COORDINATING BOARD FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, we are not accredited.
The Accreditation process leading to Title IV Federal Financial Aid has begun, but is a long and expensive one. We will certainly post our approval once granted.
