Costs & Payment

Costs

Tuition and Fees:

Day Academy cadets may apply as either a credit or non-credit student. Non-credit students may be eligible to apply for the Workforce Education Grant (WEG). WEG applications are available through our office upon request. Credit students may be eligible for financial aid through FAFSA. In addition, students using VA educational benefits must apply as a credit student.

Please note that the academy curriculum, training, and outcome are the same regardless of whether you enroll as a credit or non-credit student.

Night Academy students are NOT eligible for FAFSA.

All tuition and fees are subject to change.

Refund Policy

If a cadet withdraws from the program PRIOR to the first day of class or if the class is cancelled, a refund will be mailed from the college Business Office. Refunds generally take four weeks to be processed. Cancellations or withdrawals must be received at least one business day prior to the first day of class in order to receive a 100% course refund.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE ON OR AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS.

Financial Assistance

LEA only qualifies for WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funding.

Limited scholarship funds are available through the Workforce Education Grant (WEG), formerly TPEG for Continuing Education students. Eligibility is based on individual financial need and student enrollment in occupational courses. Funds awarded to eligible students will be applied directly to the course tuition. WEG funds will be awarded until the funds for Continuing Education are depleted. Applicants must complete the WEG application and allow 2 weeks minimum for processing time before class start date. The WEG form is due to the Continuing Education main campus office 10 business days before class begins to allow sufficient processing of information.
