The Financial Aid department mission statement is to ensure that all eligible students receive financial aid while pursuing educational goals at The Chicago School. Our office continues to make every effort possible to identify students’ needs and to advise students regarding financial aid. We are focused on providing excellent customer service and promoting financial aid literacy. We aim for our students to have a seamless financial aid experience while they attain a quality education.
Summer 2021 Updates
-Effective for students
starting a new semester during the Summer I, 2021 term or later, financial aid recipients enrolled in an Online program will now receive their full
financial aid disbursement and full stipend (when applicable) at the beginning
of each semester.
Financial aid and stipends (when
applicable) will be disbursed every-other term, so students no longer need to
wait for two separate distributions. Students with applicable credit
balances will now receive a single stipend at the beginning of a semester that
will cover two online terms. Therefore, it will be critical for
students to budget accordingly to ensure sufficient funds are available to
cover both online terms in a semester.
-Book voucher forms for Online students are now updated to
request the amounts of $350 and $650. Students starting a new semester this
Summer 2, 2021 term can request only one voucher amount to purchase books and
supplies to cover both online terms. The book voucher expiration dates are
extended to expire approximately 2 weeks after the start of the 2nd
term. Any unused portion of a book voucher amount will be credited back to a
student’s account within 30 days after expiration.
