Financial Aid

Income Share Agreement

You may be eligible to pay for tuition through the MentorWorks Income Share Agreement (ISA) program. With an ISA, a student has his or her education supported by an investor, in return for a contract to pay a specified percentage of income for a fixed period of time after graduation.

• ISA payments adjust according to levels of income
• Monthly payments are calculated by applying the student’s income share rate to their total monthly earned income
• ISA obligations can be ended earlier by making early payments as listed in an early payment schedule

Check ISA availability at this or another school.

Income Share Agreements may be issued by Blue Ridge Bank, N.A.

Federal Financial Aid *

Financial aid can come from federal, state, school, and private sources to help you pay for college or career school. Federal student aid from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) covers such expenses as tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation. Aid can also help pay for other related expenses, such as a computer and dependent care. Thousands of schools across the country participate in the federal student aid programs.

There are also special aid programs or additional aid eligibility for serving in the military or for being the spouse or child of a veteran. And, Federal student aid may be available for studying at a school outside the United States, whether you’re studying abroad or getting your degree from an international school.

• Grants – A grant is a form of financial aid that doesn’t have to be repaid (unless, for example, you withdraw from school and owe a refund, or you receive a TEACH Grant and don’t complete your service obligation). A variety of federal grants are available, including Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants, and Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants.
• Work-Study Jobs – The Federal Work-Study Program allows you to earn money to pay for school by working part-time.
• Loans – When you receive a student loan, you are borrowing money to attend a college or career school. You must repay the loan as well as interest that accrues. It is important to understand your repayment options so you can successfully repay your loan.

Apply for federal student aid — grants, work-study, and loans — using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form.
