Financial Aid

Various types of financial aid are available to students who need assistance to continue their education. A student's financial aid package is based on their demonstrated financial need as determined by the U.S. Office of Education's Uniform Methodology for federal student aid programs. These guidelines are used to provide a standardized, objective analysis of a student's financial need.

Some aid programs are administered under the policies and guidelines established by the state and federal governments; other programs are administered directly by a state or federal agency, the College, or by outside organizations.

Financial assistance consists of grants, scholarships, and loans, which may be offered to students singularly or in various combinations. Financial assistance from OTC and other sources is viewed only as supplementary to the efforts of the student and/or student's family.
