Financial Aid
É«ÇéӰƬ College is currently approved to offer federal financial aid to our students. If you qualify, Pell Grants or other forms of federal financial aid may be available to cover the cost of tuition and materials. If you don’t qualify for federal grants, you may be able to get other options that will let you learn now and pay later, after you’re a successful working professional. We will work with you to make your education happen!
The cost of tuition changes depending on the program you’re enrolled in, but the one thing all of the programs have in common is that they usually cost less than similar programs at other colleges. É«ÇéӰƬ is a not-for-profit school. That means our costs are lower, and we pass that savings on to you, the student.
To learn more, please make an with one of our Financial Aid Officers.

Direct Subsidized Loans – awarded to undergraduate students who have financial need; U.S. Department of Education generally pays interest while student is in school and during certain other periods. Please visit studentaid.ed.gov located for the latest information on interest rates. Borrowers may not receive this type of loan for more than 150 percent of the length of their program of study; the U.S. Department of Education may stop paying interest if the student who received Direct Subsidized Loans for the maximum period continues enrollment.
Direct Unsubsidized Loans –&²Ô²ú²õ±è;Financial need is not required; borrower is fully responsible for paying the interest regardless of the loan status. The Interest on unsubsidized loans accrues from the date of disbursement and continues throughout the life of the loan. Please visit studentaid.ed.gov located for the latest information on interest rates.
The amount of student’s award is determined based on their Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is calculated based on the information reported on the FAFSA. All awards are also determined based on program length and the academic year the student is enrolled in.

Private Educational Loans –&²Ô²ú²õ±è;In case students are not eligible for free or lower-cost Title IV federal or state aid, students have the option of applying for private education loan in place of, or in addition to federal and state aid. Students are strongly encouraged to pursue the availability of free or lower-cost financial aid with the school’s financial aid office. Students are encouraged to review each lender’s terms and conditions before selecting a lender.
All students considering borrowing student loans need to understand the differences between federal student loans and private student loans. The Borrowers must review and compare the terms, interest rates, associated fees and repayment options before accepting the loan. The terms and conditions of the Title IV, HEA program loans may be more favorable than the provisions of the private education loans.
Students should contact the financial aid office to discuss their options.

The students must reapply and renew the FAFSA every year by the announced deadline. The student’s circumstances will be evaluated every year for continued eligibility.
All students are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for financial aid. Satisfactory progress is computed on a cumulative basis at any given midpoint/payment period, and at the end of the program. Please refer to É«ÇéӰƬ College’s SAP Policy for more details.
For students in non-term based program, there are two disbursements for payments of tuition and fees per academic year. The first title IV disbursements are made within 3 weeks of when a student is admitted as a regular student. The second disbursements are made on or after the midpoint of the academic year. To find the midpoint, student can refer to their award letter and divide the number of credit hours in half. Student must also meet half of the weeks for the academic year and be making SAP at the time the school evaluates the student for funding.
For students in term based programs, disbursements of title IV will be requested within 3 weeks of the start of a student’s term. For new students, funds are not requested unless the student is admitted as a regular student. Once a student is admitted as a regular student, funding will be requested within 3 weeks. Student must be making SAP as of the last term(module) completed.
The student’s loan/grants proceeds will be applied to the student’s account for tuition and fees. Any remaining proceeds will be paid to the student or to parents by check, if parents qualify or for a Direct PLUS loan.
Student Loan Counseling – Prior to first disbursement of federal loans, all first time borrowers of a Federal Direct Loan will be required to complete Entrance Counseling, which will provide comprehensive information on the terms and conditions of the loans and of the borrower’s responsibilities.
All students will be required to complete Exit Counseling before they graduate or withdraw. Exit Counseling will help students calculate anticipated monthly repayment amount, choose repayment plan options and will provide other important information.
Students who will borrow Direct Loans will be required to repay the loans plus the interest regardless of the loan status. If a student withdraws, a refund calculation will be completed and funds will be returned to federal programs in the order required by USDE. The interest rates for federal student loans are determined by federal law.
The interest rate varies depending on the loan type and (for most types of federal student loans) the first disbursement date of the loan. To calculate a sample loan repayment schedule, please refer to the following link.
