Financial Aid

Federal Financial Aid is available for all full time programs. There may be additional funding available for some of the full time and part time programs. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information at 330-438-2556 x 105.

The first step is the FAFSA on the web. This is mandatory for all students accepted into the full time programs. In order to determine your federal aid eligibility, you need to file the FAFSA. Make sure you have a copy of your 2009 tax returns, W2's and account balances of checking, savings and other financial accounts. Our Federal School code needed to complete the FAFSA is 015029 and we are listed as Community Educational Services. Make sure you are filling out the 2010-2011 FAFSA form.

If you are interested in applying for a Stafford Loan, you are required to do the Entrance Exam prior to submitting the Stafford Loan Application. Once this step is completed, please fill out the Stafford Loan Application below.

If you are a parent applying for a loan for your dependant student in your name, you will need to fill out the FastPlus loan application. If you are an independant student, or wanting to apply for a Stafford Loan for yourself, please skip this step and go onto the Stafford Loan application once you've completed the Entrance Exam.

Once you have completed the Entrance Exam you need to fill out the Stafford Loan application. Once you have completed this step, contact the Financial Aid Office to see if anything else is required to complete the application process.
