Sometimes it’s necessary to get a little help when it comes to funding your future. For many students, getting an education requires financial assistance other than the support of family or savings. At Keune Academy, our NACCAS accreditation allows us to offer federal financial aid* to students who qualify. We want every student to be able to thrive both during school and after graduation. That’s why offering financial aid is so important to us. Our financial aid programs have been specifically developed to help students reach their educational goals.
*For a more detailed explanation of Financial Aid, student loans and grant dollars, please contact our Financial Aid Office at 678-990-0762 ext. 227. Financial Aid is available only to those students that qualify.
The basis of determining a student’s financial needs begins with an analysis of the financial status of the student’s and/or the parent’s income. This analysis is accomplished by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) distributed by the U.S. Department of Education. Learn more on the fafsa.ed.gov website or hotline 1.800.4.FED-AID. When entering your personal information on the FAFSA website, please include our school code: 041509, then we can go over your financial aid options with you.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is a way to collect students’ and their families’ financial information so the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) can be calculated. EFC is the amount a family can afford per year for higher education. The EFC is subtracted from the total cost of school attendance and then the proper loan amount can be awarded.
This is available for students who begin during the June class start. The scholarship amount is $1500, though amount varies based on the month it is awarded.
When a student has had previous education and training in an accredited cosmetology school and successfully completed 450 clock hours, he or she can be eligible for a scholarship of $3000. In order to receive this scholarship, the academy must have a copy of the potential student’s “official” or “unofficial” transcript from the previous school. Once transcripts have been evaluated, the student will be informed if he/she is eligible to receive the scholarship.
There are certain periods and criteria when scholarships may apply to tuition costs. Students must fill out an application and if they pay cash, the scholarships can apply. In addition, students with proof of a high school transcript of cosmetology hours of at least 350 hair and hair theory hours will receive a scholarship for prior education in high school. These hours cannot be transferred to this school. Unearned scholarships are forfeited when withdrawal occurs.
We offer both federal Pell Grants and ACE Grants at Keune Academy.
The Smart Option loan is a private, credit-based loan with multiple flexible repayment options. There are also competitive interest rate options available. This loan covers expenses that are not covered by scholarship or federal student aid. Visit their website at www.salliemae.com for more information on their programs.
Keune Academy by 124 programs are approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The *GI Bill ® was created to help active service members and veterans cover the cost of education. There are several programs that fall under the GI Bill ® . Funding is given based on each individual’s eligibility and duty status.
