Financial Aid is available exclusively for the Medical Assistant Program at the Manhattan Institute. This webpage and the links within it are designed to help you understand the financial aid programs, your potential eligibility, and your rights and responsibilities as a recipient of federal student aid. Of course, this is only general information. The best way to learn about aid eligibility for your specific situation is to visit The Manhattan Institute and speak with our Financial Aid Office.
Financial Aid is available to students enrolled in the Medical Assistant Program who meet the basic eligibility requirements. The term “financial aid” includes grant programs and loan programs. Grant aid is awarded based upon financial need, but student loan programs are available to all eligible students regardless of the student’s financial situation. You are strongly encouraged to apply for these programs even if you don't believe you will qualify for much aid - you may be surprised at how much aid is available!
The starting point for all financial aid is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA application is available on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov, and our Financial Aid Office will gladly assist you with the on-line application process. Once the application is submitted, it takes two or three days for the school to receive the electronic reply from the US Department of Education. The information contained in this document allows The Manhattan Institute to calculate the amount of student aid each student will receive.
Upon completion of the application process, your financial aid advisor at The Manhattan Institute will prepare a package of financial aid for you based upon your eligibility and financial need. Your advisor will discuss the timing of aid payments, explain billing and payment procedures, and can advise you about alternative financing sources.
The Financial Aid programs available at The Manhattan Institute include:
Eligible students at The Manhattan Institute who have not received a Bachelor's degree may receive this grant based on financial need. Federal Pell is a grant that does not need to be repaid. Click here for Information about Federal Pell Grants from the U.S. Department of Education.
