Financial Aid Options

Student can receive up to $3,000.00 towards your program.

WIOA Information: https://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/wia/wioa.htm

This program will typically provide funding in three Benchmark Payments which all must be signed by the Student before submission to WIOA.

1. First Payment on your 1st day of the program. (about $750.00)
2. Second Payment when you receive your license. (about $1,500.00)
3. Third payment when you find a job within 30 days. (about $750.00)

Because each payment is only processed upon the successful completion of the Student's achievements, and we cannot guarantee that work will be available within 30 days of your license, this is how we set up your Payment plan:

We will take the  First ($750.00 approx.) and Second ($1,500.00 approx.). from your total cost of the program minus the enrollment fee, and then divide the remaining balance by the number of weeks that it will take for you to complete the program. If you find employment within 30 days of receiving your license, we will refund you $750.00 when we receive the Third Bench Mark Payment from WIOA. In order for us to submit your $750.00 refund, we will need the Third Benchmark Payment signed, and filled out with the employer information; and it can take WIOA 30 days to process payment. Upon receipt of payment, we will contact you to pick up your refund.

Example Scenario: 

• Valeria wants to enroll for the Nail Technician Program and was approved by WIOA for $3,000.00 for her studies. 
• The Nail Technician Program costs $5,400.00 plus $150.00 to Enroll. Since she wants to attend PART TIME, two (2) days per week, it will take her 13 weeks to complete her program.

• Valeria must FIRST ENROLL ONLINE or Phone or in Person ($150.00) in order to get set up in the WIOA Payment Plan.

• Since we only include the First and Second Benchmark Payment in your payment arrangement the amount will be as followed:
  • WIOA 1st and 2nd Benchmark Payment = $2,250.00
  • Total Costs of the program is $5,400.00 because Valeria already paid the $150.00 previously to enroll.
    • $5,400.00 (Program Cost) minus $2,250.00 (WIOA 1st & 2nd Benchmark) equals $3,150.00 (Student's outstanding balance)
  • $3,150.00 (student's outstanding balance)  divided by 13 weeks (program duration)  equals a WEEKLY PAYMENT OF $242.31

• Every week Valeria will bring $242.31 until she finishes her payment arrangement.

• If Valeria finds employment 30 days after receiving her CT License, She can submit to Gorgeous by Glam her THIRD BENCH MARK Payment Signed and COMPLETED for a refund of $750.00 from WIOA within 30 days (average time it takes to receive payment).

• if Valeria doesn't find employment within 30 days after receiving her CT License, she cannot submit her $750.00 refund from WIOA because she no longer qualifies for that funding under the Benchmark 3 criteria specified by WIOA.

Full Tuition is due on the First Day of Class, However, at the student's request we will place the Outstanding Balance in Payment Arrangements. 

The Payment is calculated by dividing the Total Amount Due by the number of weeks that it will take for you to complete the program. 

However, if you ever miss a class or a week, you are still responsible for making your payment installment due. 

Example Scenario: 

Valeria wants to enroll for the Nail Technician Program and wants to attend PART TIME, two (2) days per week, it will take her 13 weeks to complete her program.

• Valeria must FIRST ENROLL ONLINE or Phone or in Person ($150.00) in order to get set up the Payment Plan.

• Total Costs of the program is $5,400.00 because Valeria already paid the $150.00 previously to enroll.
  • $5,400.00 (Program Cost) divided by 13 weeks (program duration) equals a WEEKLY PAYMENT OF $415.40.

• Every week Valeria will bring $415.40. until she finishes her payment arrangement.
