Our Business and Industry Training programs: Heavy Equipment and Welding Certification Training programs have the following loans available to help with your educational expenses: Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan and the Sallie Mae Career Training Loan. These loans are non-federal credit-based loans.
If you are attending the BIT CDL program (truck driving), you may utilize the Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan for your educational expenses.
If you are enrolled in the online Medical Transcription course or the online Medical Coding course, you may utilize the Sallie Mae Career Training Loan for your educational expenses.
For most of the lenders, applications are completed on-line or by phone. If you do not have internet access, computers are available in the Financial Aid Office or at our library on-campus in the Mickelson Building. The lenders will be in contact with you if they need additional information. This may include, but not be limited to, a co-signer, employment verification, or tax information. If you are approved for the alternative loan, the lender will contact our office for the approved amount and certification of the loan. Loan funds will be disbursed to the school, and the funds will be applied against your tuition and/or any other fees due. If you have excess funds after tuition and/or fees have been paid in full, the school will issue you a refund check. If applicable, your refund check will be available in the Business Office (MC 204).
If you have any questions, please stop by our office in the Mickelson Building #203, or contact our office at 605.367.7867. We will be happy to help you!
