Payment Plans

• College Three-Payment Plan
  If you are unable to pay the full amount of tuition at registration, the three-payment installment plan may be used.  At registration, you will pay any required fees, 1/3 of the tuition, and a $25 installment plan fee.  The second installment will be due the last class of Module 2.  The third installment will be due the first class of Module 4.  The three-payment installment plan may be used in each semester.  A promissory note will be required at registration. 
   

• Employer Assisted Payment Plan
  If your employer will assist you in your educational costs, you may defer payment of tuition by providing documentation from the company prior to registration. This includes a letter on company letterhead or the appropriate company form stating your eligibility and copy of your company policy regarding percentage of tuition and fees covered. You will be required to pay all fees and the Enrollment Deposit, and sign a Promissory Note (Employer Assisted Payment Plan) at registration. The College will provide a listing of all charges and notification of your successful completion of Program modules according to your employer’s requirements. You agree to expeditiously submit invoices to your employer for reimbursement and pay the college not later than the next class meeting after you have received reimbursement.
   

• Credit Cards and Personal Checks are accepted for payment of tuition and fees.

Preparing for a college education requires advance planning. To assist you in making appropriate financial preparations, please familiarize yourself with the following items and make a checklist of those points which might require your attention.

Gift Assistance
Grants and scholarships are awarded based upon a variety of factors but primarily upon your demonstrated financial need. Listed below are some of the most common forms of gift assistance.

• Federal Pell Grant
  Provided by the federal government and administered by the University, this grant is based upon financial need.
   

• Indiana State Grants
  Available to students who enroll full time and qualify based on need. The grant is not available to persons who already hold a bachelor's degree or persons from outside the State of Indiana. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required.
   

• Veterans Benefits
  Available to those who qualify. Eligibility is determined by the Veteran's Administration, and potentially eligible students should contact their local Veteran's Administration representative.

Federal Educational Loans

• Many students supplement their resources for college with the use of funds from the Federal Education Loan Program. The Federal Stafford Loan Program is based upon demonstrated need and is administered through the college. There is also a Federal Stafford Un-Subsidized Loan for which most students will qualify. Eligibility is determined at the time financial aid packages are awarded. Supplemental Loans to Students (SLS) are available to EXCEL Program students to supplement the Federal Stafford Loan.
   

• The eligibility levels for all of the above mentioned programs are determined through confidential needs analysis. The confidential analysis will be based upon the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Student Aid Report (SAR) which the student receives from the FAFSA must be on file in the Financial Aid Office.
   

• Students who have earned more than 58 semester hours of college credit may generally borrow sufficient funds through the Stafford Loan Program to cover EXCEL tuition.
