No information will be released regarding financial aid except by written request of the student.

The Financial Aid Office administers various Federal, State, College and private financial aid programs. Financial aid is made available to help students meet the expenses of a college education. Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) is available for students attending Belmont Technical College. EDE is a process where students applying for aid have the results back from the Central Processing Center within three to six days compared to three to six weeks via mail. All financial aid programs will be managed according to Federal, State and College guidelines and accepted accounting practices.

Students applying for financial aid are considered for all programs for which they are eligible. The amount of financial aid awarded is generally a combination of grants, loans, and employment, and is based on the student's financial need. Need is determined by subtracting the resources of the student and his/her expected family contribution from the student's total expenses. The family contribution is estimated on the basis of the amount of the family's income and assets while also taking into consideration taxes and other financial liabilities of the family. All financial aid awards are determined by the Office of Financial Aid.

Belmont Technical College participates in the following programs:
Federal Aid | State Aid | Miscellaneous Scholarship/Assistance Programs
