Do construction programs offer financial aid or student loans?
Federal Financial Aid
Attending a construction program from an accredited college or university either part or full-time can make a student eligible for federal financial aid. Students should fill out free applications for federal student aid to discover which grants or loans they qualify for. Several funding opportunities are available through federal aid, including Pell Grants, which are financial awards that do not need to be paid back, subsidized loans, which are loans with interest that does not accrue until after graduation, and unsubsidized loans, which are loans with interest that begins accruing immediately. Students may also qualify for work-study programs through federal financial aid programs to earn money working on campus while pursuing their studies. Approval for federal financial aid is based on financial need among other factors, so students should be prepared to share financial information on their application.
Private Student Loans
Students enrolled in construction programs may qualify for student loans through private lenders. Students can apply at banks for private student loans. Private lenders often charge higher interest fees than loans secured through federal financial aid. However, students who do not qualify for federal aid or who need to supplement the amount offered by federal aid with additional loans may choose to take out private student loans.
Other Funding
Some construction programs offer their own scholarships and paid internships, so students should inquire with the construction program department to find out if these opportunities are available and how to take advantage of them if so.
