Carrington College® has the resources to help students transform their lives through education. We can assist eligible students in seeking financial assistance for meeting their educational expenses.* The College participates in various federal and state student financial assistance programs, as well as private third-party financing.
No two students are alike, so no two students' financial needs are the same. That's why Carrington College applicants are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the Student Finance department prior to enrollment so that eligibility for financial assistance may be determined. Additional information is available in the academic catalog. This practice enables applicants to evaluate their options for tuition financing. "The Student Guide," published by the U. S. Department of Education, explains Federal financial aid programs in detail. It is the student's responsibility to complete and submit all forms and/or applications required for all federal, state, and institutional sources. Additional information on financial aid for eligible students is available from the financial aid office.
Financial Aid consists of both grants, state funded programs and loans. Unlike loans, grants are gifts that do not have to be paid back. Carrington College participates in a variety of grant programs. These grants are based on need or on specific criteria related to a student's service or circumstance. To learn more about grants, including state-funded programs, please contact your student finance office.
For many students and parents, loans represent an important resource to help finance educational expenses. Whether federally or privately funded, loans can help fill the gap between need-based financial aid eligibility and total educational costs. In nearly every case, repayment of a loan begins after you earn your credentials or leave Carrington College.
Here are some of the financial assistance options that might be available to you.
Federal Student Aid Programs
