Financial Aid

Financial Aid
art and design school students

Here at The Art Institute of Charlotte, we understand the significant financial commitment a college education requires. A variety of financial aid programs is available for those who qualify. The college also offers a tuition lock-in program.

The Student Financial Services staff works one-on-one with students and their families to develop a personal financial plan, based on each individual's particular financial needs, that allows students to reach their educational and career goals.

Our Approach
Your education is an investment in your future and an opportunity for you to develop career skills that will last a lifetime. Many students are willing to pay their educational costs but need some assistance. Fortunately, a number of financial resources are available to help students meet their expenses.

Our Student Financial Services Department can help you and your family plan for the projected costs of your education. Once you complete the application forms and return them to the school, we review them using a federally required calculation to determine your eligibility for financial aid.

A Student Financial Planner will then work with you and your family to devise a Student Financial Plan to help you cover your educational expenses, based on your financial aid eligibility and your family circumstances. This plan carefully matches your personal financial contributions with your probable outside forms of assistance.
