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.

Advising

It is the desire of the school that all students satisfactorily complete their course of instruction. The Director of Training, School Instructors and/or Directors are available to those students experiencing academic or other problems to help them overcome whatever difficulty is being experienced. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this assistance.

A list of community organizations and facilities is available for students to turn to for support for themselves or their families for substance abuse dependency or family crisis situations.
