F.A.Q.
| Q. | Will I have enough financial aid to cover the whole program? |
| A. | That depends on your specific circumstances, program hours and Pell eligibility. |
| Q. | I am currently attending another school. Can my aid just transfer to your school? |
| A. | No, any current loans would be canceled when you leave the other school and you will have to re-apply for new loans. You may not be able to receive full new loan amounts if there is an overlapping loan period between schools. If you have Pell you will be awarded based on the percentage you have already used at the other school. |
| Q. | An outside agency such as WIA is going to pay for my schooling. Why do I have to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form? |
| A. | Because if you are Pell eligible, most agencies require that Pell be applied to your fees first, and then the agency will pay all or part of your balance. The financial aid office has to let the agency know if you are eligible or not. |
| Q. | I already have a Student Aid Report (SAR) for this award year because of attending another school. Do I complete a new FAFSA for your school? |
| A. | No, you can only have one Student Aid Report per award year. What you need to do is update your current SAR by adding our school code of 015492 |
| Q. | I don’t think I will qualify for Pell but can I still apply for student loans? |
| A. | Yes, your income doesn't matter except that it may cause all or some of your loan to be Unsubsidized. (Unsubsidized means that interest will be accruing during your in-school and grace period). |
| Q. | I currently have a student loan in default status. Can I still get my Pell grant? |
| A. | No, if you are in default, you are not able to receive any Title IV aid; as a matter of fact you may not be able to receive other sources of funding such as the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Once the default is resolved you may again be eligible. Any default status must be completely resolved at least one month prior to the program start date. If you are already in the program and go into default your aid will be suspended and you will become responsible for tuition and fees. |
| Q. | I am being sponsored by an outside agency such as WIA; may I still take out student loans for living expenses? |
| A. | Yes, if you meet all other eligibility requirements and have the approval of the agency. |
| Q. | What documents are needed to complete the FAFSA? |
| A. |
