Title IV federal aid
Types of financial aid
KC Beauty Academy participates in the following Title IV federal financial aid programs under the authorization of the U.S. Department of Education.
Grants
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grants are awarded to students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. Because they are grants, funds are not typically repaid, unless you withdraw from school before the end of the award period.
Eligibility is based on financial need, the number of hours in the academic program, and the cost of attendance.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSEOG is a grant for students with exceptional financial need. Priority goes to students who also receive a Federal Pell Grant. Like other grants, FSEOG does not need to be repaid.
FSEOG funds are limited each year, so filing your FAFSA early gives you the best chance to be considered.
Federal Direct Loans
Loans must be repaid, with interest, even if you do not complete your program. Generally, students who complete a FAFSA and have not defaulted on a previous federal student loan are eligible. You can apply through our financial aid office.
Direct Subsidized Loan
Awarded to students who demonstrate financial need. You are not charged interest while you’re in school or during the six-month grace period after you leave school.
Direct Unsubsidized Loan
Available to students who don’t demonstrate enough financial need for a subsidized loan. Interest accrues while you’re in school and after you leave. You can pay the interest while in school, or have it added to your principal balance when repayment begins, six months after you leave school.
Direct Parent PLUS Loan
Available to parents of dependent students, subject to a credit check, to help pay for their child’s education. PLUS loans are not based on need and cannot exceed the student’s cost of attendance minus other aid. Interest is charged during all periods, including while the student is in school.
