The Investment

Have you ever heard someone say: “You get what you pay for”?

Have you ever thought about what that means?

It means this: a financial decision is not only about cost, but also about value.

In other words, what are you getting for your money?  Are you buying something cheap that will break the second time you use it, or are you investing in something of quality that will last you a lifetime?

We believe two things that are central to our mission:

1. Education is an investment.  It is an investment not only of money but also of time and energy.  You will have to work hard and think hard, practice new skills until you master them, study instead of watching TV.  You will have to sacrifice short-term desires for long-term benefits.
2. It won’t necessarily be easy, but it will be worth it. The money you invest in school, the time, the energy – it will all come back to you many times over.  That is the mark of an investment: you get more out than you put in.   The money you invest in tuition should expand to become a higher salary for the rest of your life.  The time you spend studying and practicing should become a better home for your family, more opportunities for your children, a parent your they can admire.  The energy you invest should transform into more happiness, more control of your life, and more opportunities for you in the future.

Financial Aid

Here’s something you may not know:  The federal government has a substantial pool of money set aside specifically to help people pay for college.

People just like you. . . . Why?   Because when you improve your education, it is good for you, for your family, for your future employer, for your community, for everyone.

**For some students, there may even be additional money available from other government agencies to help them pay for school.

In a personal, one-on-one consultation, we will help you determine exactly the type and amount of aid for which you qualify. Then, we will explain everything to you in plain English and answer any questions you have about the process.

Types of Aid Available:

Grants — Some of the Financial Aid you may receive is in the form of Grants.  Grants are gifts from the government:  free money.  These grants often amount to thousands of dollars!

Scholarships — read more >

Loans — Some of the Financial Aid you may be eligible for is in low-cost student loans; like with a car or home loan, this is money you borrow that you will pay back over time.  Student loans are different from most other loans, though.  For one thing, most students who take out loans make no payments until 6 months after they graduate and because these are low fixed-interest programs, the average monthly payment for our students once they do start making payments is less than $100 per month.   That’s equivalent to just 60₵ per hour.  If you can raise your salary by just $3 per hour, then after your loan payment you’re ahead by more than $380 per month!

And a career means you should continue to earn higher salaries as the years go on.

That’s a financial no-brainer!

The majority of our students enroll in our programs with no up-front payments – everything is included in the tuition and the tuition is completely covered by financial aid.  We have no application fees and we don’t charge you for books or materials!

When you come in to meet with us, our team of Financial Aid Advisors will meet with you individually to help you determine what kind of aid you qualify for and what the finances would look like for you if you decided to enroll with us.  Our goal is to make things absolutely clear so you understand all of your options about the investment in our educational programs so you can make an informed decision about your future.
