Financial Aid:
If you are interested in a FAYETTE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY program, you may also be interested in financial aid.
Financial aid sources are available to defray the costs of tuition, textbooks, and supplies. Since each of these awards is in the form of a grant, you will not have to repay any of the money upon graduation.
The Pell Grant is the most widely used source of financial aid. In addition to the Pell Grant, you may be eligible for assistance through the Workforce Investment Act.

-
Department of Human Services

Department of Vocational Rehabilitation
-
Veterans Administration

-
American Indian Center
