Financial Aid
|
Options that may be available to you.
How students apply for Federal Student Aid and how eligibility is determined Financial Aid is determined using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the web. A student’s financial aid package may include a Federal Pell Grant and Federal Stafford Direct Loan. You should use FAFSA4caster to learn more about the financial aid process and get an early estimate of your eligibility for federal student aid. Award years are 6/31/20xx - 7/1/20xx. Your tax returns determine the award you will receive. If your enrollment falls over 2 award periods, your 2nd award cannot be forecasted until you have submitted your tax returns and have filled out the FAFSA. (If you know you made more money the 2nd year then your award may be reduced so you should plan accordingly). Live Start Dates
Please note that start dates are ONLY available if we have a student graduate by the published date which would allow us to have an open seat. Because we strive to maintain smaller class sizes, and our students take 48 weeks to complete basic & master esthetics, our start dates are not guaranteed.
Please contract the school to discuss what month you are interested in starting and we will let you know when we are able to provide you an open seat. Please call for start dates as we currently only have space when a currently enrolled student graduates. |
