FINANCIAL AID

FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS

Headlines Academy offers multiple Federal Aid Programs, including Pell Grants, Direct Stafford Loans, and Direct PLUS Loans for those who qualify. To begin this process, please complete the Student Aid (FAFSA) form. By doing so, you will be activated within the federal system and your eligibility for loans, grants, and scholarships will be determined. When applying, please use our FAFSA Code which is 016231. Upon receipt of your student financial aid information, and which loans, grants, and scholarships you qualify for, we will contact you.

Additionally, the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, is a Direct Loan that must be repaid with interest. Eligible students and parents borrow directly from the U.S. Department of Education. For more information visit William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF LOAN PROGRAMS:

Subsidized Stafford Loan

A student can borrow this type of loan to cover some or all of their school expenses. The U.S. Department of Education pays the interest while you're in school at least half time. You will start accruing interest as soon as you graduate. The amount of the loan cannot exceed a student's financial need for school. For more information, please visit Subsidized Stafford Loan.

Unsubsidized Stafford Loan

The student is responsible for paying the interest that accrues on the loan from the time the loan is disbursed until it's paid in full. The fixed interest rate can be paid while attending school, during a period of deferment or forbearance, or it can be accrued and the interest added to the principle amount of the loan. For more information visit Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.

PLUS Loans

Parents of dependent students can borrow from the PLUS Loan program. The terms and conditions of this type of loan include a requirement that the applicant not have an adverse credit history, a repayment period that begins on the date of the last disbursement of the loan and a fixed interest rate percent for the Direct Loan. For more information visit PLUS Loans.
