Financial assistance for students is available through SLM Financial (a Sallie Mae company). Students apply for financial assistance for one academic year at a time. Through SLM's Career Training Loan, qualified students can borrow the total amount of tuition as well as education-related expenses such as books, residential fees, computer, and living expenses (up to $6,000 above the cost of tuition).

For students who do not qualify for the SLM loan program, financial assistance may be available directly through the Institute, primarily in the form of loans. The Institute also makes grants available to eligible students. The Institute considers all financial assistance requests and works individually through the financial aid process with each applicant accepted into the Institute's graduate programs. Institute financial aid awards are based on the student's financial need and the availability of funds at the time of application.

Students are encouraged to explore all potential sources of student loans or grants, such as those offered through one's employer, as well as through civic organizations, community groups, etc. Financial aid awards are given for one academic year. Students must submit a new application for each subsequent year that financial assistance is requested.
