Attending higher education, whether it is college or a CareerTech program,  can be a great investment in life! At Epic Charter Schools, we know that investment comes with a cost. We strive to partner with students and their families to provide the information, resources and support needed to find and receive financial aid for those choosing college or a CareerTech program after they graduate highschool.

Costs Associated with Higher Education

Tuition: Tuition is the cost of courses. Each institution and CareerTech program charges its own tuition rates.

 

Fees: Fees are costs charged by the institution, including but not limited to courses, facilities, activities, parking and maintenance.

 

Books & Supplies: Most courses require specific textbooks and various supplies, such as a laptop, notebooks, pens and pencils, and specialized lab and program materials. 

 

Room & Board: Students who choose to live on a campus, if housing is an option, will be charged for their dorm room, including a bed, desk, utilities, and Wi-Fi, and a meal plan.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the secure form, offered by the United States Department of Education Federal Student Aid, that determines students’ financial aid eligibility from the government and most higher education institutions. FAFSA is the key that unlocks grant, loan, and work-study opportunities. Many scholarships also require a completed FAFSA. The FAFSA collects personal and financial information from students, and in many cases, their Contributors, and then applies a formula to determine how much financial support is needed.

Important Information

 

FAFSA should only be completed during a student’s final year of high school, and then each year thereafter while enrolled in higher education.

The FAFSA opens on or after December 1 of each year.

Oklahoma High School Graduation Requirement
