Elaine Sterling Institute is proud to provide you with the highest quality education at an affordable tuition rate. We offer a variety of financial aid solutions so that getting your education is completely affordable. We participate in a number of Title IV financial aid programs including the Pell Grant, unsubsidized loans, and subsidized loans. Financial aid is available to those who qualify, and we can provide assistance with any questions or concerns regarding application for financial aid. For more information about the grants and loans we offer please see the sections below

Payment Plans are also available if you wish to make regular, smaller payments instead of paying for your tuition in lump sums. Payment plans are typically scheduled for monthly payments of the same amount every month.

Financial Need: The U.S. Department of Education determines your amount of need based on a standard formula. This formula is established by Congress, and the data received from the FAFSA is used in the formula¹. Factors it considers are the student’s income or assets, the parent’s incomes (if the student is a dependent), the number of family members currently in attendance of postsecondary institutions, and the size of the household.²

Pell Grant- The Federal Pell Grant program provides need-based tuition assistance. Because it is a federal grant, it does not need to be repaid. Determining factors for this grant include the student’s expected family contribution or EFC, the cost of the institution, the student’s enrollment status, and whether the student attends for a full academic year or less.¹ The maximum amount for this award for the 2011-12 academic year can be up to $5,500.¹ Your award amount may vary depending on your financial need. Your school typically applies the funds from the Pell Grant to your school costs, but you can also be paid directly. The institute will notify you of your award amount. 

Unsubsidized Loans- Unsubsidized loans are loans offered to students that are not based on financial needs. These loans are awarded at the start of a term but are not expected to be repaid until the student has graduated. Unlike subsidized loans, unsubsidized loans accrue interest while the student is in school.²

Subsidized Loans- Subsidized loans are loans awarded based on the student’s financial need. Similar to an unsubsidized loan, subsidized loans are not expected to be repaid until the student graduates.² While in school, interest does not accrue on the loans.
