FINANCIAL AID:

At CyberTex Institute of Technology, our Student Financial Planning officers see that every individual receives the assistance they need to complete all financial aid documents at the federal or private source level. Applications and information about financial aid assistance can be obtained through the CyberTex offices.

In case the student or family cannot provide for all educational expenses, our trained Student Financial Planning officers will help determine the combination of grants and loans that would best meet the student’s needs.

The various financial aid and grant programs available at CyberTex are:

TUITION ASSISTANCE

Various types of tuition assistance will be discussed and explained by the financial aid office per Texas State and Federal Regulations. In addition, we have trained student financial planning officers to help students apply for grants and loans to best suit their academic needs.

GRANTS

Federal grants are an ideal source for tuition assistance because they are guaranteed by the federal government and remain pretty stable in allocating amounts and availability for multiple-year use. Unlike loans, grants don’t need to be repaid, and the eligibility relies on FAFSA.

  • Federal Pell Grants
    • Offered to students in need of tuition assistance and fluctuates from around $602 to 5,500 for a full-time student. This is the most common federal grant available to undergraduates. The funding a student receives through this specific grant is based on the individual’s FAFSA test results.
  • Academic Competitiveness Grant
    • Student’s receiving a Pell Grant could also be qualified for the ACG or Academic Competitiveness Grant, which offers up to $750 to freshman students and $1,300 for sophomores. To be entitled to this grant, students must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and complete a diligent secondary school program of studies such as honors, AP, or IB courses. This grant is what is considered need and merit-based.
  • National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant
    • The SMART grant is awarded to third, fourth, and fifth-year Pell Grant receiving undergrads majoring in technical fields, critical foreign languages, or a qualifying liberal arts program. To keep the grant, students must be enrolled in a full-time degree program and maintain a minimum 3.0 for all classes funded by the SMART grant.
  • Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program
    • This Grant was developed in 2007 to produce tuition assistance for students devoted to working as educators in low-income or high-need fields of study. Students that qualify for the TEACH grant can receive up to 4,000 a year. However, if a student is awarded the TEACH grant and then decides not to continue in the field of study, the grant will turn into a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. A high need field is any foreign language, bilingual education, English language acquisition, special education, reading specialist, mathematics, or science major.
