Financial Aid

Most of our degree seeking programs are eligible for aid. You can look in the catalog and it will indicate next to the program name whether it is financial aid eligible or not. The CNA course on its own is not eligible for aid, but when accepted into the nursing program it is eligible. Further questions can be referred to the financial aid staff.

You will apply for Financial Aid by filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at http://www.studentaid.gov The FAFSA is a free Application. Our Financial Aid office has a card that is a guide to help you fill out the FAFSA.
