STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Students of Western Technical Institute, like all accreditted institutions, are eligible to apply for a range of Federal Student Aid Programs. Determination of student aid awards is based on financial aid need analysis formulas prescribed by the Federal government. Living expense costs, as defined each year by the National Standardized Budget, are considered in this formula, and these specific figures are available in the Financial Aid offices.


The school maintains a full-time Financial Aid Staff to administer these programs and assist students in obtaining the maximum amount of financial assistance for which they are eligible. Application for eligibility in these programs begins by completing the FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA).

Types of aid include grants, loans and scholoarships. Grants are monies that do not have to be repaid by the student, but may have to be returned to the government if the course of study is not completed and the refund policy requires the student to do so. Loans are borrowed monies that you must repay with interest.

More in-depth information on these programs can be found in THE STUDENT GUIDE, published each year by the Department of Education and available in the lobbies of both Western Technical Institute locations, as well as in discussions with your Financial Aid Administrator. Per government regulations, courses not leading to an Associate Degree are funded by financial aid credit value, not semester credit value.

The following are programs that are available. To find out if you qualify for any of these programs, you may make an appointment with our Admissions Department.
