Frequently
Asked Questions
1.
Do you offer financial aid?
At this time we are not able to offer financial aid, grant assistance,
or accept government-based scholarships. We can offer financial assistance
through a Career Training Loan offered by SLM Finanicial Corporation,
a Sallie Mae Company. This loan is applicable to all programs. In order
to have funds available by the time school begins, students are encouraged
to begin the application process 60 days prior to the program start date.
Students are encouraged to meet with an Admission Representative to discuss
tuition resources at 773.883.1560 ext. 402 or Admissions@AvedaChicago.com.

The Aveda Institute Chicago can assist students in finding suitable housing
by referring to apartment/housing finders. We do not own or operate housing
facilities.

Am I guaranteed a job once I’ve graduated from my program?
