RISE Program Aid
Financial Aid
RISE is a Comprehensive Transition Program (CTP); therefore, our students qualify for some federal student aid through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). To access the FAFSA, visit: https://fafsa.ed.gov/ and select “91¿´Æ¬Íø” (School Code: 001700). Please note that CTP programs do not qualify for federal loans.
91¿´Æ¬Íø is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit. Private, church and/or corporate donations may be tax deductible.
Please contact the Financial Aid Office to inquire about federal student aid, endowments, scholarships, and payment plans.
