Financial Aid

Financial aid may consist of funding from one or several sources, including federal, state and/or personal loans. Most financial aid recipients receive a combination “package” consisting of more than one type of assistance. Once personal resources have been explored (savings, credit or other personal funding sources), Federal, State and other agency support will be discussed based on your qualification for those programs. The Institute participates in the following federal programs:
1. PELL Grants
2. Unsubsidized/Subsidized Federal Loans
3. Federal Parent PLUS Loans
4. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
5. Veterans Administration

In addition, when necessary, The Institute will help a student with in-house payment plans during study.

Each campus has a financial aid representative to assist you with the application processes. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please reach out to the financial aid representative at the campus you want to attend. We have also linked resources below that will help you understand the Financial Aid process.

The Financial Aid Process

CARES Act &
Higher Education Emergency Relief Funding

You may have heard that the federal Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA) provided financial resources to colleges and universities. The resources available through the Higher Education Emergency Relief II (HEER II) Fund allow universities to distribute grants to students in need to cover any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus.
​
Students who were active on March 31, 2021 and were eligible for PELL funding were notified directly by the Institution for an automatic grant payment.

  • What I loved most was the hands-on learning: learning in a professional salon atmosphere that I received during my tenure. The education department equipped me for a successful future, and also encouraged me to always reach out for guidance as needed once I was in the field.

    I graduated in June and was licensed as of July and I can say this is one of the best experiences so far. In school I took my career serious and knew I wanted to waste no time on getting started so I took extra courses while I was in school and literally had my own suite 3 months before I finished school. Fast forward to today I’m currently at Trends Style Studio where I specialize in body waxing, skincare and body sculpting. I’m always taking extra courses to enhance my knowledge and add to my services. Thank you again Gci, this year I’m planning on opening my own location in Murfreesboro, Tn
