Students attending an accredited college, like ATA, are eligible for Federal Financial Aid to assist in paying for tuition. In addition to student loans, this aid can provide free grant money to attend school.
ATA College participates in financial aid programs to assist students in paying for their tuition and fees. Preparing for a lifelong career requires not only a commitment of time and effort but also a financial investment in a quality educational program. Many people feel that they cannot afford the tuition, books, and time required for formal training. The following financial aid programs are available to students at ATA College, subject to individual qualifications.
Federal Financial Aid is available for the following programs:
Students seeking financial aid must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid application (FAFSA). The school’s financial aid representative will use this application to determine the student’s needs and assist with deciding what programs best serve the student. If a student withdraws from school, an adjustment in the amount owed may be made, subject to the school’s refund policy. If a student has 26 received financial aid in excess of what he/she owes to the college, these funds must be returned to the federal financial aid program, if applicable.
*(1) federal student loans are required by law to provide a range of flexible repayment options, including, but not limited to, income-based repayment and income-contingent repayment plans, and loan forgiveness benefits, which other student loans are not required to provide; and (2) federal direct loans are available to students regardless of income.

Federal student loans offer low fixed interest rates; income-based repayment plans; loan forgiveness; and deferment (postponement of repayment) options, including deferment of loan payments when a student returns to school. Generally, repayment of a federal loan does not begin until after the student leaves school. More information is available at StudentAid.gov/federal-vs-private.
