Financial Aid

In order to avoid delays in receiving financial assistance, please apply for financial aid as soon as you have made the decision to enroll. Federal financial aid is not available for short-term career enhancement courses.

The steps for online FAFSA application procedure are listed directly across from this paragraph in the second column.

Financial aid assistance is available for potential and currently enrolled full-time students in the Adult Workforce Education programs. Financial aid may cover part or all of the tuition
and may be available through Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, Federal Plus Loans, Workforce Investment Act, Bureau of Workers Compensation, Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, Trade Adjustment Act, Veteran’s Administration, Nurse Education Assistance Loan Program, and employer based tuition assistance
.

Federal Financial Aid

If you are planning to attend a course eligible for federal financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to have your financial need eligibility determined.  Paper FAFSA applications are available in the ACE Financial Aid Office, or you may complete and file your application online via the FAFSA website.

There are four types of Federal Financial Aid:

Pell Grant—Based on financial need and does not have to be repaid. The maximum grant award for 2007-2008 is $4310.

Subsidized Stafford Loan—Based on financial need and repayment begins six months after you leave school. Maximum amount is $3500 for the first year.

Unsubsidized Stafford Loan—Not need based and payment begins six months after you leave school. Maximum amount is $4,000 (first year) less any subsidized money for independent students.

Note: Subsidized and unsubsidized loans may be combined for a total maximum of $7500 per year.

Plus Loan—For parents of dependent students only. Not need based and repayment
begins while the student is still in school. Maximum amount may not exceed the total
cost of attendance less any other aid to be received.

To receive aid from any of the federal student aid programs, you must meet all of the following criteria:

•  Demonstrate financial need, except for some loan programs.
