Students who are employed full or part-time may be eligible to have their employer sponsor their tuition. In this model, the employer pays the college directly for the student’s tuition as a forgivable loan. Sponsored students in the AA, BSED, or EPI programs must sign a promissory note in which they commit a minimum of three (3) years of employment to the employer following program completion.

• For students who complete the service commitment, the loan is forgiven. For students who do not, the tuition paid is owed back.

• Completed Intent to Sponsor forms should be uploaded to your application as part of your submission.

• If a promissory note is required, it will be sent to the student via email.

Students should inquire with their employer as to whether sponsorship is available. Sponsorships are a form of financial aid.

Please use the correct Intent to Sponsor form as appropriate for your program:

• AA/BSED/EPI Intent to Sponsor Form

• Endorsement/Non-Degree Seeking Intent to Sponsor Form
