Scholarships

*Students qualify for financial aid based on a 3 quarter academic year although our students attend 4 quarters per year.  Our full-time program is 2.67 academic years or 2 full calendar years.  For comparison purposes, most schools list tuition based on academic year because students don’t attend in the summer. But we do!
