Financial Aid

Education is the most important investment you will ever make.  Education is an investment in you!  It can give you a dream career that is both personally and financially rewarding.  The challenge is, how to afford the tuition now.

Through our school sponsored programs and partnerships with financing companies and government agencies, we can help you with your tuition costs.  We encourage you to work with us to design a financial plan that helps you accomplish your educational goals.

Payment Plans

LAAFA Programs

Short Term Payment Plan

For those students needing extra time during the quarter to pay their tuition, LAAFA offers a payment plan.  Students must pay 50% of the tuition by the payment due date and submit a post-dated check or credit card number for the remaining balance plus a 2% to 5% fee, based on the payment type.  The post-dated check must be dated prior to the beginning of the fifth week of the quarter.  The student will be unable to continue in the program if all of the payment requirements are not met.

Work Exchange Program

Students may apply for College Work Exchange each quarter.  The availability of jobs varies from quarter to quarter.  Please contact the Administration Office for more information.

TFC Financing

TFC Tuition Financing

In partnership with TFC Tuition Financing, LAAFA is now offering a student loan program. Borrow up to a 100% of your school-certified tuition costs and pay as little as $500 a month.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible.  You must meet current credit and other eligibility criteria.  Applying with a credit worthy cosigner can give you a better chance of approval and may help you get a lower interest rate.
