All students wishing to apply for a federal grant or loan programs will need to obtain a PIN number (Personal Identification Number) by going to www.PIN.ED.GOV .

The prospective student will then use that PIN NUMBER and go to WWW.FAFSA.ED.GOV. Our school code ID # 017127 for purposes of receiving federal funds. Federal funding awards are available for those that qualify. Most qualify for grants or loans.

If the student is under 24 and unmarried, parents may have to assist with the payment of the potential student’s educational costs in cash or by making application for a Plus loan and completing a Parental Credit Check form. If the parent does NOT qualify with the Department of Education for a loan, the student WILL be allowed to borrow the additional funds (loan amount) to pay for their educational expenses.

Parents and students who are UNABLE or UNWILLING to provide the necessary signed documents requested by the school will preclude the student from being admitted to the school.

The prospective student must be willing to provide, if required, documented verification of income and household size. In some cases the parents of the prospective student must also provide documentation.
