 Financial Aid Options

Prospective students who want to explore the possibility of receiving federal financial aid must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine their eligibility for Pell Grants, Parent Plus Loans, and Stafford Loans through the Direct Loan Program.
The Healing Arts Center also accepts funding from the Veteran's Administration and Vocational Rehabilitation.
HAC offers Title IV student aid (federal financial aid) along with installment payment programs (SIP) and its own internal loan program (HACTL) to help students finance their participation in the program.  
The 600 Hour MTTP program is designed to only require a maximum of twelve (12) hours of class time per week thereby making it feasible for students to work full or part time during school.
Our School FAFSA Code: 041306
For help completing your FAFSA application, check out the FAFSA tutorial videos at the bottom of this page!

The Healing Arts Center Offers Additional Funding Options

The Healing Art Center is committed to providing quality education as well as access to a rewarding career. In addition to federal financial aid, HAC also offers two (2) additional forms of educational financing in the form of Student Installment Plans (SIPs) and HAC Tuition Loans (HACTLs) for qualified applicants.

Student Installment Plans

A Student Installment Plan (SIP) is a convenient way to pay tuition and avoid the debt of student loans because these payment plans are interest free. The following conditions apply:
  • The SIP only lasts as long as the school  year. 
    • Interest-free installment payments must be made while you are in school and do not extend past graduation.  
    • The Director of Financial Aid will look at the income resources that you have during the school year and determine an installment payment that fits your budget.  
    • All installment payments must be made during the school year and the SIP terminates after graduation.
  • SIPs can be used for all or part of your tuition bill.
    • If you are working part-time during school you may not make enough money to participate in an SIP that pays off  you entire tuition bill.  
    • SIPs can be used in conjunction with federal financial aid and HAC Tuition Loans to finance your education.

HAC Tuition Loans

Our Title IV federal financial aid program does not cover the full amount of tuition.  Some students find that even with a Student Installment Plan (SIP), they still do not have enough to fund tuition.

As a last piece of funding, The Healing Arts Center offers qualified students HAC Tuition Loans (HACTL) to fill in the missing funding.  Certain conditions apply to this type of loan:
  • HAC Tuition Loans are only awarded after a student has exhausted every other possibility.   HACTLs will not be awarded if other funding options are available.
  • HAC Tuition Loans are made at an 8% interest rate and are not issued until all other funding sources are exhausted so as to avoid unnecessary interest accumulation.
  • Payment on an HAC Tuition Loan begins one month after it is awarded at full or partial payment depending on the student's needs. 
  • The term of the loan is extends for two (2) years after the date of graduation or withdraw from the program.
