Financial Assistance for Lab Classes

While Federal financial aid is not available for Lab Class students, GIA-administered scholarships are.

GIA now offers scholarships during two application periods each year. Applications received between March 1 and April 30 will be considered for scholarships that can be applied toward the tuition and fees for GIA Distance Education eLearning programs and courses or lab classes that take place during the current calendar year. Applications received between June 15 and October 30 will be considered for scholarships that can be applied toward the tuition and fees for GIA on campus or eLearning programs and courses or lab classes with start dates for the upcoming calendar year.

Applications for scholarship awards that can be applied toward programs, courses, and Lab classes in the upcoming calendar year (2013) will be accepted June 15 through October 30. 

Applications for the June 15 scholarship period will be available on June 15.
