Funding Options

Federal Financial Aid
BCI participates in some Title IV Federal Student Aid Programs. Financial aid can provide assistance to students who meet the eligibility requirements. Students with certain types of existing student loans may be eligible for in-school deferments. Students receiving Title IV loans are required to attend an Entrance Loan Counseling (scheduled at New Student Orientation) prior to receiving their federal loan. In addition, such students are required to attend an Exit Loan Counseling Session prior to graduation or prior to withdrawal from the program.



Student Financial Aid Policy

An opportunity for a post secondary education should be within the reach of all interested individuals.  BCI administers a financial aid program designed to assist the student who qualifies to complete a Massage/Bodywork Therapy diploma program.  The purpose of the Financial Aid Office is to assist, within the limits of its resources, students who have a financial need. All students who are accepted to BCI and apply for financial aid will be considered for aid regardless of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability.  Students must make satisfactory academic progress to continue their eligibility for financial aid.
