Want financial aid?
The FAFSA® is an absolute must.
You must submit the FAFSA® (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for every year you plan to be in school. It’s totally free—you have nothing to lose.
⚠️ Attention Veterans or Active Duty Military. Please visit our VA Financial Assistance Resource page.
We are committed to help you navigate through the financial aid process. Eligibility for financial aid is established through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). Continued financial aid eligibility is based on financial need and satisfactory academic progress. Once we have evaluated a family’s ability to contribute, ICOHS College offers a financial aid package that may include grants and loans. Financial Aid available for those who qualify.
Steps to Financial Aid:

Our Financial Aid Counselor is here to guide you through the process of the financial aid that may be available to you. In your appointment you will be walked through all steps of completing your financial aid paperwork and you will also receive an Estimated Financial Aid Award Letter. If you are accepting the aid, and it includes student loans and as a first time borrower, you will need to complete the online entrance counseling here.
