Financial Aid
6 | Back to Table of Contents
What is Financial Aid? Financial aid provides funding for qualified students through a variety of sources, each with its own eligibility and application guidelines. Our staff will help you navigate the financial aid process, such as filing applications for federal programs and completing required loan documents. What Types of Federal Student Aid are Available? Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools offer students enrolled in full-time credentialed programs four types of Federal Student Aid: Pell Grants, Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct Parent Loan to Undergraduate Student (PLUS). Pell Grant - A Federal Pell Grant is based on financial need. This grant is part of the Title IV entitlement of the Higher Education Act of 1965. Since the Federal Pell Grant is an entitlement, it does not have to be repaid, if the student completes his/her/their program. Federal Direct Student Loans - Students and parents can apply for three types of Federal Direct Loans, including: Subsidized, Unsubsidized, and Parent PLUS. Each of these loans have a fixed interest rate and can be repaid over a period of 10-30 years, depending on the repayment plan you choose. Interest rates for all Federal Direct Loans are set each spring for new loans being made in the upcoming award year. These rates are tied to financial markets and are fixed for the life of the loan. The amounts that students can borrow are determined by their dependency status. Student borrowers are not required to undergo a credit check. Parent borrowers must apply for PLUS loans and their credit is checked during that process. Students whose parents are turned down for PLUS loans may be able to borrow more money than their dependency status normally permits.

Other Financial Aid Financial assistance may be available to students from one or more of the following government programs: Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities Veteran Benefits Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Adult Workforce Development also offers payment plans.
Direct Subsidized Loan - A Direct Subsidized Loan is available to eligible students with financial need. The federal government pays the interest on the loan while the student is in school or in the grace period following the class. The student is allowed a six-month grace period after leaving school before repayment must begin. Direct Unsubsidized Loan - Eligibility for this loan is not based on financial need. The borrower can pay the interest while in school, during grace and deferment periods, or the interest can be accrued and added to the principal at the time of repayment. Direct Parent Loan to Undergraduate Student (PLUS) - The Direct PLUS Loan is not based on financial need, but the borrower must be creditworthy. The amount of a PLUS loan cannot exceed the student’s cost of attendance minus other financial aid.

Disability Services
Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools Adult Workforce Development (EFCTS-AWD) is committed to providing an accessible environment for all its students in both academic and non-academic programs, as required by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Students with disabilities have the right to: Access courses, programs, services, activities, and facilities Work, learn, and receive reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids and services Confidentiality about their disability, except as disclosures are required or permitted by law Procedures for Requesting Reasonable Accommodations It is the responsibility of the student to submit all necessary documentation of a disability for review prior to receiving any accommodations. Eastland-Fairfield requires documentation be comprehensive and reflective of the student’s current status.
Provide documentation EFCTS-AWD accepts documentation from treating professionals as valid if the date of the service or testing is within three to five years from the time of admission into the program. A copy of the student’s high school IEP or 504 Transition plan can prove helpful. Student Services will review the documentation and identify, in consultation with the student, on a case-by-case basis, the range of reasonable accommodations. Request accommodation The student must meet with our career counselor to request an accommodation. Services and accommodations will not be offered until a student makes this request and attends this meeting. It is in the student’s best interest to make this request as early as possible. Receive a letter of accommodation Once the request is received and analyzed with the student, our career counselor will generate a letter to be provided to the student’s educators outlining what reasonable accommodation(s) has or have been determined to be appropriate. Follow up with educators It is important that the student communicate with his/her/their instructors about the specifics of his/her/their accommodations. Examples might include determining arrangements for extended time testing and/or testing in a private testing area, etc. Contact Student Services for further assistance If the accommodation(s) a student is currently receiving should be revisited, or should a student encounter resistance to the accommodations for which they are eligible, he/she/they should contact our Student Services Career Counselor. Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools’ officers, agents, and financial aid professionals will act, speak, and behave with students, co-workers, and the public in a manner that exemplify the school’s policies of inclusion, fairness, and honesty. Any student who is not in agreement with the reasonable accommodations they are afforded may request an informal review by the Adult Workforce Development Director or utilize the Section 504 Grievance procedure.
