REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICIES: In order for a Student to cancel or withdraw from any program, the following conditions must be met:

If requested within three business days after signing an enrollment agreement and making an initial payment, the student is not accepted by the school or for any reason is unable to begin class; all payments will be refunded including the application fee. Upon receipt of the refund, the student agrees that its receipt constitutes a full and complete release of AHI from any and all liabilities. All governmental and agency refunds will be made within the required time limits of the funding agency. A student who returns to AHI after withdrawing must sign a new Enrollment Agreement and will be subject to the then-current price of tuition.

Cancellation can be made in person, by electronic mail, by certified mail or by termination as determined by school officials.
All monies will be refunded if the school does not accept the applicant or if the student cancels within three (3) business days after signing the enrollment agreement and making initial payment.
Cancellation after the third (3rd) business day, but before the first class, results in a refund of all monies paid, with the exception of the registration fee.
Cancellation after attendance has begun, but before 40% completion of the program, will result in a prorated refund computed on the number of hours completed to the total program hours.
Cancellation after completing 40% of the program will result in no refund.
Termination Date: In calculating the refund due a student, the last date of actual attendance by the student is used in the calculation unless earlier written notice is received. Refunds will be made within 30 days or 45 days from the last date of attendance, whichever is sooner.
Refunds will be made within 30 days or 45 days termination of a student’s enrollment or receipt of Cancellation Notice from the student.
A student’s enrollment can be terminated at the discretion of the governing board for insufficient academic progress, non-payment of academic costs, or failure to comply with rules.

Students attending Allied Health Institute (AHI) may be eligible to receive loans or grants through one or more financial aid programs. Although every student in an eligible program may apply for financial aid, the amount and type of aid that may be available will be dependent upon the financial need of the student. Allied Health Institute uses nationally standardized procedures for determining the financial need of each student. A student applying for financial aid will be required to submit the financial information regarding the student and the student’s family that the School’s Financial Aid Office deems necessary.

Federal Pell Grant: Funds received through this program are grants and do not have to be repaid. Awards are based on family income, assets, family size, and number of family members in college. The amount of the award is dependent on Congressional funding levels and is subject to change annually.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG): Funds received through this program are grants and do not have to be repaid. These funds are very limited and are only given to students with exceptional financial need. Priority is given to students who are Pell Grant recipients.

Federal Subsidized Stafford Student Loan: Funds received under this program are loans and must be repaid. The maximum loan is $3500.00 per academic year. The interest rate is variable, but never exceeds 8.25%. Repayment begins six (6) months after the student graduates or ceases to be enrolled at least half-time. For eligible students, the federal government will pay the interest while the student is in school and during the six (6) month grace period.

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan: These loans are available to independent students who cannot meet the cost of education through other financial aid programs. The maximum loan is $4,000.00 ($6000 as of July 1^st 2008) per academic year. Repayment of the principal can be delayed until the student completes or leaves school. Interest on the loan will accrue while in school and can be paid quarterly or it can be capitalized and repaid with monthly payments after the student completes or leaves school.

Federal PLUS Loans: The PLUS Loan enables parents to borrow funds for a dependent student. The maximum amount will vary and is limited to the cost of education less other financial aid that the dependent student can receive. Eligibility is based on credit scores.

Verification: A student’s Financial Aid application (FAFSA) may be selected by the Department of Education for a process called verification to verify the information on the application. Students who have been selected and have not started classes will be notified by mail and given a verification worksheet. Active students will be called to the Financial Aid Office and given the same notice. To complete the verification, the student must submit the verification worksheet as well as tax/income information as directed by the worksheet.
