Federal Grants
Federal Pell Grant
Pell Grants are the foundation of federal student aid. These grants are awarded based on a student’s Student Aid Index (SAI), Cost of Attendance, and Enrollment Status, and do not need to be repaid. For the 2024-25 award year, Pell Grant amounts will range from $740 to $7395. Award amounts are not affected by other aid sources. The student should work with the school’s financial aid leader for assistance in completing the application.
How to Apply
All students who have submitted a valid Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be considered for Federal Pell Grant and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant eligibility. Please take the following steps in order to receive a copy of your financial application and be notified of the grant amount once eligibility is determined.
- You must first have a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID). It can be setup at https://studentaid.gov/
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You must include our Federal School code # 041518 when submitting your application.
- Contact this campus’ Financial Aid Team to notify us that your application has been submitted.
- Check your e-mail for your Title IV Worksheet, which outlines your eligibility for federal student aid.
Federal Stafford Loans
Federal Stafford Loans are available as subsidized, unsubsidized, or a combination of both types. Students are not required to make payments on either type of loan while enrolled at least half-time at an eligible educational institution. However, students may choose to make regular or interest-only payments while enrolled.
Subsidized Stafford Loans are awarded based on each student’s demonstrated financial need, as determined by this Paul Mitchell School’s Financial Aid Leader and the FAFSA. These loans are interest-free while the student is enrolled at least half-time at an eligible educational institution or during authorized grace and deferment periods. Interest is charged when the loan is in a repayment or forbearance status.
Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are awarded regardless of each student’s demonstrated financial need. These loans begin to generate interest charges immediately after disbursement. These charges may be deferred during at least half-time enrollment, grace, and deferment periods, but they will be capitalized (added to the outstanding loan balance).
Federal Stafford Loan Amounts
The amount available in Federal Stafford Loan funding will vary for each student. The type and amount of each loan are determined by this Paul Mitchell School’s Financial Aid Office based on demonstrated financial need, other financial aid, and previous borrowing totals.
The maximum borrowing amount and program clock hours will vary from state to state. For more information please contact the Financial Aid Teams:

Federal Parent Loans (PLUS)
Federal PLUS Loans are long-term, low-interest loans awarded to parents of undergraduate students by this Paul Mitchell School, which are funded through The Department of Education. PLUS funds can be used to supplement other sources of aid to help meet the family contribution portion of the cost of education. Parents at all income levels are eligible for consideration pending credit approval.
ELIGIBILITY FOR A PLUS LOAN
In order to qualify for a PLUS loan, the student for whom the funds are intended must be attending school on at least a half-time basis in an approved program. Eligibility is also based on the borrower’s creditworthiness. Students whose parents are unable to obtain credit approval for a PLUS loan may qualify for additional funding through the Federal Stafford Loan program. Applicants who are denied a PLUS loan based on an adverse credit decision should contact theFinancial Aid Leader.
FEDERAL PLUS LOAN AMOUNTS
The amount available in Federal PLUS Loan funding will vary for each borrower. The maximum amount of each loan is determined by this Paul Mitchell School’s Financial Aid Office based on the students expected costs and other financial aid amounts.
Rates
Federal PLUS Loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2020 have a fixed interest rate of 5.30% for parents.
Fees
All Federal PLUS Loans may be subject to an origination and insurance fee of up to 4.228%, taken from the value of the loan at the time it is disbursed to the school. The loan amounts listed above and on financial aid award notifications represent the gross amount (amount before the fees have been paid). Borrowers should consider the fees charged by each lender when choosing their loan provider.
Repayment
Standard loan repayment begins 60 days after the loan has been fully disbursed for the academic year. Interest will begin to accrue at the time of the first loan disbursement. Repayment will initially be scheduled for fixed monthly payments over a 10-year period.
Parents now have the choice of making payments while the student is in school or deferring payments until the student graduates. If you choose to pay after graduation, interest will accrue from the time of full disbursement. You can choose to pay the interest monthly, or you can defer both interest and principle until the student graduates. If you choose not to pay the interest monthly, it is capitalized no more than four times per year.
HOW TO APPLY FOR A FEDERAL PLUS LOAN
Parents of undergraduate students should complete the following steps to apply for a Federal PLUS Loan:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This Paul Mitchell School must have a completed FAFSA before funds for a Parent Plus Loan can be disbursed.
- Apply for a Parent Plus Loan by clicking here or by contacting the school Financial Aid Leader.
