High school students that graduated and qualified in the A+ program have the opportunity to receive tuition scholarships.

We also provide information in our school catalog on other scholarship opportunities.

Federal Pell Grant

Unlike a loan, the Pell Grant does not have to be repaid. Federal Pell Grants usually are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or a professional degree. The amount depends on your financial need, costs to attend school, status as a full-time or part-time student, and plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Enter our School Code 042474 when submitting your application.
