Akron Institute Financial Aid
Message from the Director of Financial Services
Funding your education can be confusing, especially for a first-time college student. That’s why we’ll walk you through the process, every step of the way.
We’ll make it easy to understand by creating a financial plan that’s designed specifically for your needs, which may include financial aid, scholarships, tuition reimbursement, military benefits, and/or any other types of aid for which you qualify. That way, you can start focusing on your new career!
Our Financial Aid Department is here to help you from the very start, from filing your FAFSA form to explaining what Financial Aid you will be eligible for. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have regarding your concerns, whether big or small.
