FINANCIAL AID
ZORGANICS institute has applied for initial application for Financial aid.
Student financial aid is money that helps students pay the cost of education. Funds for this aid may be provided from several sources which includes federal and state government and local lending institutions. Most financial aid recipients receive their aid in a combination of "package" composed of more than one type of aid program. U.S. Citizen and eligible non-citizens who show financial need may be eligible for financial aid.
Eligible students who demonstrate they need financial assistance may be offered a combination of grants and/or loans. Grants are awards that students may not have to pay back as long as they remain in and complete school. However, if a student withdraws, that student may be responsible to pay grant money back to the U.S. Department of Education. Loans are borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. To apply for financial aid, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as the primary need analysis document. Any student interested in obtaining financial aid should visit or call the Financial Aid department.
ZORGANICS Institute, participates in the Title IV Federal Financial Aid Program. The U.S. Department of Education and the Office of Student Financial Assistance authorize this participation. Eligible students at ZORGANICS Institute, may apply for financial aid to assist in meeting their educational expenses. Programs include Federal Pell Grant and Federal Direct Loans.
ZORGANICS Institute, makes no representation that a student will receive any financial assistance. Individual need determines program eligibility. This need determination will comply with all Title IV Federal Financial Aid regulations. The regulations governing all federal financial assistance programs are subject to change. The Financial Aid department will have information regarding available programs and consumer information.
FINANCIAL AID COUNSELING
Electing to take on the debt of a student loan is an important decision. Prior to taking out a student loan, students must complete Entrance Counseling. This can be completed in person in the Financial Aid department or online through the U.S. Department of Education’s http://www.fafsa.gov
Upon completing or exiting a program, students must also complete student loan Exit Counseling. This can also be completed in person in the Financial Aid department or online at http://www.fafsa.gov
METHODS OF DISBURSEMENT
All Federal financial assistance awarded by the school is disbursed according to Federal regulations.
Financial aid is disbursed based on a payment period as outlined in the student’s contract. Financial aid is first credited to the student’s account balance. Should the amount of the disbursement exceed the balance on the student’s account, the student may be refunded that amount by check. Refund checks may be signed for in person in the Financial Aid office or mailed to the address on file at the school. If the student prefers to leave a credit on the account, they must provide a voluntary authorization to do so. The Financial Aid department can provide the form to authorize the holding of a credit balance. The authorization will show how much the student wishes to hold and for what time period. The student has the right to cancel such authorization at any time.
Refunds will be issued within 30 days of the creation of the credit balance. Checks will be held in the Financial Aid office for 21 days, after which the check will be mailed the address on file. Refund checks are valid for 90 days. Should a check remain uncleared for more than 90 days, that check is considered void. A new check can be reissued at the request of the student up to 180 days after the issuance of the original check. After 180 days, if a check remains uncleared, the unclaimed funds will be returned to the U.S. Department of Education.
UPDATES TO THE FAFSA
Changes made to the FAFSA after enrollment may change student eligibility for federal financial aid. Before making changes to the FAFSA, a student should check with the Financial Aid Office.
DEPENDENCY STATUS
Should a student have a change in dependency status during an academic year, updates to their FAFSA may be necessary.
The FAFSA may be updated if:
a) The student acquires a dependent child or children, either through birth, adoption or foster care.
b) The student no longer has custody of a dependent child or children.
c) The student is dependent and both parents pass away during the academic year.
d) The FAFSA may not be updated for dependency status change due to marriage or divorce.
If a student re-enters a program after withdrawing, the student’s dependency status must be updated.
VERIFICATION
The Department of Education reserves the right to ask for additional information to confirm data provided by the student or the parent on the FAFSA. This information must be provided to the Financial Aid Office at ZORGANICS Institute by the student or parent. Data to be verified can include income information, household size, number of family members in college, and other items. Documentation may include a verification worksheet, tax transcripts, W2 forms, proof of living arrangements, and may include other items.
If a student’s FAFSA indicates that they are required to provide verification documentation, they should do so within 30 calendar days of the student’s start date or the student may not be eligible to receive federal aid. A payment plan based on the total amount due to the school may be offered at that point.
Verification documents will be reviewed by Financial Aid staff members. Items in the FAFSA that do not match the information provided in the verification documents must be updated. Student eligibility for federal aid may be impacted by changes made due to the verification process.
