College investment is about more than tuition. This is why your Advisor will connect you with the Living Arts Financial Planning Office. You'll have an option to set up a budget to project and plan your total college costs. Will you want help in finding part time, non-professional work during college? Do you hope to live on campus? Will this fit into your budget? How do you navigate a Financial Aid master plan? Again, your advisor will connect you with the support team at the Financial Planning Office.
Living Arts supports candidates with planning who qualify for Federal Financial Aid grants and loans. The College is authorized to assist the qualified student in applying for Federal Financial Aid. The process usually follows after making application through Admissions. Your Admissions Officer will introduce you to a Financial Planner Officer. Your Financial Planner Officer, working with Admissions will schedule a meeting with you and family (or others) to prepare your attendance budget. The objective is to support your own goal, aiming to complete your education on time and on target. International and other students not eligible for Federal Financial Aid will find assistance below.
Living Arts College supports a community effort to fund tuition costs plus often overlooked personal living expenses while attending. Assistance to all qualified students includes:
The Student Services Office and the Financial Planning Office pprovide planning and advising plus financial application details related to the above. You will find a caring staff waiting to share their expertise with candidates. As a note of caution, Federal funding as well as campus awards often require the student or candidate to furnish information and complete documentation on a timely basis. This is a personal responsibility meaning College staff help may be limited if the individual does not follow through on his/her part. Maintaining communications is the best route.
- Federal Pell Grants are awarded, calculated following the student completing the
online FAFSA—Free Application for Student Aid. Find details online
or contact your Advisor directly.
- Direct Loans are made to qualifying students as well as PLUS loans made to
qualifying parents of dependent students. Find all of the details working with
Financial Assistance.
- Campus Awards are made on the basis of demonstrated need as well as looking at
passion and potential for success. Amounts vary by available funds at time of
application.
- Finally, a creative solution may offer an answer if other options do not meet your
goals. This may result in guiding you to a scholarship search, working and saving
prior to start. Alas, there are no full scholarships available.
