FINANCIAL AID RESOURCES

Education is a big investment. The training you’ll receive at Diamonds increases your chances of finding a great career. And it decreases your chance of being unemployed. You’ll be more likely to find an interesting, rewarding career in a field that offers a lot of opportunity. When you graduate from Diamonds, you stand a better chance of finding a job and making more money than your peers with less education. Combine that with greater opportunities for job satisfaction, and your Diamonds’ training becomes an investment that’s hard to beat!  We suggest you download The Guide to Federal Student Aid and visit www.studentaid.ed.gov or www.finaid.org for more information.

Financial resources available to those who qualify:

  • FEDERAL GRANTS are monies given to people to help pay for school. If you are awarded money, you do not have to pay it back. This is awarded based on financial need.

  • DIRECT LOANS are borrowed monies through the U.S. Department of Education that must be repaid (with interest).

  • DIRECT Subsidized Loans are awarded to students who show financial need and is interest-free while the student is in school. You must start to repay this loan beginning six months after you leave school.
