Other schools scare you about student loans and debt, what is that all about?
The Pell Grant is FREE if you qualify. YOU don’t pay it back ever. It comes from the Federal Government. ACE Grants, if you qualify, are administered through the school and free if you maintain your grades and attendance.
What does Accreditation mean?
It means that the school has completed the highest level of checks and balances and audits to ensure its compliance in all areas.
Financial aid has helped so many students if they need the financial help. Why put down student loans and financial aid when it helps the student?
Maybe you have a debt or a loan that you can’t pay. Sometimes having extra cash to help ease your debt worries can be a “welcomed” necessity and going to school the Federal Government allows you to borrow what you need to help you. Yes, there will be a pay back like with all things in life. But, if you’re down and out and you want to educate yourself and also be free of some debt and you have no where to turn, then financial aid can help you if you qualify. It depends on what you qualify for and what your cirrcumstances are. It’s not for everyone. Financial Aid is there if you qualify and you can choose to take it or not. The choice is yours. If you need it, and you qualify then, it’s your decision.
If you’re trying to get ahead in life, and you have no where to turn and you want to educate yourself and do something with your life, then why not see if you qualify for Financial Aid? You have to put in the time for education to receive the Financial Aid. So, it encourages you to come to school and learn while receiving some financial help!
Are all loans big and bad?
No, not all loans are big and bad. The subsidized, you don’t even have to start paying on it until 6 months after you graduate! Hopefully, by then you’re working. Again, the choice is yours on what to accept or not. You are in total control always! We sit with you and explain it all to you so you can understand.
At PSI, our Massage Program qualifies for the Pell Grant and also the ACE Grant if you qualify for those! That means if you do, there’s over 6K worth of free funds towards your tuition. And when you leave our school, you will have our hours and your credits whether or not you worked off your services.
Do students have to do services?
Yes. The state of Florida requires the student to have a certain amount of “hands-on” service hours to be licensed.
When will I graduate?
You will have a contract with us with a beginning date and an end date. You will know when you’re graduating and it won’t depend on whether or not there are a lot of guests to pay off your debt or not. The services are only for the required skills for the Board of Massage.
