Financial
Assistance
Students
enrolling in school are informed that the College is eligible
for federal Title IV Federal financial assistance and they are
encouraged to apply for federal funds to determine if they are
eligible to receive this assistance. A full-time financial aid
office is maintained where all forms are available to apply
for the Federal Pell Grant and/or Federal Family Education Loans.
The
Federal Pell Grant is a gift of aid from the Federal government
to eligible students based on financial need. Need is determined
on the basis of a formula developed by the United States Department
of Education and reviewed by Congress annually.
Federal
Family Education Loans are Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans,
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans and Federal PLUS Loans.
These Loans are available to eligible students enrolled on at
least a half-time basis in an eligible participating institution.
A
student applying for Federal Financial Aid is required to provide
supporting documentation for verification of information given
to the Financial Aid Officer. Proper documentation can include
tax returns and W-2 forms. A complete list of documents needed
for verification can be obtained from the Financial Aid Officer.
If
a student supplies inaccurate information on any application
and declines to correct this information after being advised
by the Financial Aid Officer, the school is required to refer
this case to the United States Department of Education for resolution.
No financial aid will be disbursed to the student unless the
school is requested to do so by this Federal agency.
Student
Loan Default Prevention
Students
who attend school with the assistance of Federal Family Education
Loans must realize the seriousness of the repayment obligation.
These loans must be repaid.
The
College has established a service to assist current students
and graduates that are no longer in school in the repayment
process. Deferment or forbearance of payments is possible under
various conditions. Students and graduates should consult the
Student Loan Assistant for up-to-date information.
Job
Placement Assistance
MTI
Business College's placement service is a vital part of our
students' educational program and is available to present and
past graduates. The Placement Assistant works with the students,
familiarizing them with resumes, employment forms and preparation
for job interviews.
The
College is informed of the current needs and demands of the
job market through continued contact with employers. No guarantee
of placement is made; however, the placement records illustrate
the effectiveness of our efforts and the efforts of our students.
