FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
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. The college expressly provides student loans through the Federal Direct Loan Program as of July 2010. Federal Direct Loan Program makes available Federal Subsidized Direct Loans, Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loans and Federal PLUS (parental) Direct 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 past Federal Family Education Loans, before July 2010, or the new Federal Direct Loans must realize the seriousness of the repayment obligation. These loans must be repaid. The College has established a service whereby the Student Loan Assistant presents in a small group atmosphere an Entrance Orientation after starting school and an Exit Orientation at the end of their program. This all assists current students and graduates 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. The purpose of this important staff person is to assist even those students no longer in the training process either through graduating or leaving their program with outstanding balances. JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE
The school is informed of the current needs and demands of the job market through continued contact with employers. The Placement Assistant posts weekly job listings generated through local and regional newspapers, internet job listing sites, and making phone contact with regional employers for job availabilities. 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 to have 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 address and become familiar with in order to seek support for themselves or their families for substance abuse dependency or family crisis. Our purpose is to maintain stability and allow to the best of our ability the enhancement of the learning environment for the successful completion of each enrollee. HOUSING The school does not maintain housing for students nor does it make specific recommendations regarding housing. However, housing accommodations are available in the community. TRANSPORTATION Public bus transportation is available with stops located close to the College. It can also be possible to arrange for transportation by another student if schedules are compatible.
