Resources to Fund Your Education

Federal Grants

Federal grants are federal funds that you do not have to pay back. The most well-known federal grant is the Pell Grant, which can be awarded to undergraduate students without a bachelor’s or professional degree.

Federal Loans

Federal loans, unlike federal grants, are federal funds that you do have to pay back. The benefit of federal loans over private loans is that you will often be able to get a much lower percentage rate on the interest you have to pay back.

Veterans Affairs (VA) Education Benefits

Covered individuals eligible for VA benefits may attend or participate in the course of education under Chapter 31 or GI Bill ® programs.
NOTE: A Covered Individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under Chapter 31 Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment or GI Bill® benefits. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Individual campuses are also approved by their respective state board of education. Many of the schools are also approved for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

Monthly Payments

If you do not qualify for federal student aid or you are simply looking for other options, Media Schools offers the option to pay for your college education in monthly installments. This option will allow you to pay off your educational expenses interest-free.
