TUITION ASSISTANCE - STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

The school realizes that most students lack the financial means to simply write out a check for their educational expenses. To assist students in overcoming the financial obstacles, the school maintains a number of tuition financing options to help you reach your career goals. These programs can make professional career training affordable to practically any student!

PCI HEALTH TRAINING CENTER FINANCIAL AID OFFICE

 The Financial Aid Office will assist you in determining which financial aid assistance programs you qualify for and how much assistance is available. Since the financial aid application process can often appear to be a complicated maze to the average student, the professional staff at PCI will help guide you through the process. Prospective students will receive a confidential interview for this purpose, during this interview, individual tuition financing arrangements will be made and the staff will answer any questions you may have concerning eligibility.

FEDERAL EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

As an accredited institution, the school is eligible to participate in Title IV Student Financial Assistance programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education. These programs offer educational loan and grant assistance to students who qualify under the federal guidelines. Veterans and other persons eligible to receive VA benefits may utilize VA Educational benefits for attendance in the Medical Assistant, Medical Office or Psychiatric Assistant training programs. In addition, a number of federal, state and local agencies provide financial assistance in the form of scholarships, tuition payment assistance, and assistance with daycare and transportation needs. 

The Federal Pell Grant is awarded to eligible students and does not have to be repaid. The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is an additional grant award made available to students with the greatest financial needs. Federal Stafford Loans are low-interest educational expense loans made available to eligible students. Federal loan repayments begin six months after the students last date of school attendance. For all federal educational loan programs, students must apply to the U.S. Department of Education on their application form. More Information on Federal Assistance Programs

OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

In addition to federal financial assistance, there are a number of federal, state and local programs which provide tuition, scholarships and other educational assistance. Since not every student will qualify for outside assistance, or the financial aid available is not sufficient to cover the entire training program cost, the school offers a number of institutional financing plans, including loans; interest-free or low-interest repayment options to assist students cover the remaining cost of their training.
