Types of financial aid may include scholarships, federal and state grants, federal work-study programs, and student loans. Eligibility for financial aid is based on the Cost of Attendance (COA) minus the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) determined by the information reported on the FAFSA.

Financial aid eligibility is determined in compliance with federal and state regulations as well as institutional policies and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, medical condition, or other legally-protected basis.

Student Eligibility

To be eligible for financial aid each applicant must:

1. be accepted for admission to MTI College;
2. be U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen;
3. not be in default on a federal student loan;
4. not owe a repayment on a federal grant;
5. agree to use any student aid received solely for educational purposes;
6. be making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree (see Satisfactory Academic Progress [link to SAP page]); and
7. satisfy other general eligibility criteria established by the federal, state, or MTI College regulations and guidelines.

These eligibility factors will be reviewed when the student applies for financial aid. Before a financial aid disbursement payment is made, the student’s academic progress and enrollment status will be reviewed and verified.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

All students who receive federal or state financial aid must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) towards the completion of an eligible program of study.

Students who do not meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards to receive financial aid may be eligible to appeal. Once a decision has been rendered, the appeal committee decision is final and cannot be appealed.
