Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) Frequently Asked Questions
Federal Student Aid (FSA) and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are government-sponsored funding packages that assist students with the cost of tuition, housing, and other fees associated with higher education. The package may be made up of federal grants and scholarships (which do not need to be repaid) and loans (which do need to be repaid). Typically, these awards are determined based on the economic needs of students and are calculated from the FAFSA data collected on the student and/or their parents.
Special Funding Options
We work hard to make sure you can get the education you deserve. Our school supports a wide variety of funding options for each of our students’ special circumstances – which we call ‘Special Funding.’ Qualifying for these programs will depend on a student’s special certification or unique situation.
Payment Plans
For students who are looking to invest in their education with monthly payments, we have payment solutions.
Tuition for the Massage Therapy Program for 600 hours is $9,600, this breaks down to $16 per clock hour.
Tuition for the Holistic Health Practitioner Program for 1000 hours is $16,000, this breaks down to $16 per clock hour.
Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) is charged by California State and is currently $0 for MT or $0 for HHP programs. What is the Student Tuition Recovery Fund? The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution. More information can be found in our Annual Catalogue.
To qualify for the Massage Therapy or Holistic Health Practitioner payment plan, you start with $250 On-Time Deposit plus your first monthly payment plus your STRF fee. This is due two weeks before your first class (the registration date).
