Federal Financial Aid

To qualify for Federal Financial Aid you must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This may be obtained through our Financial Aid Offices. Eligibility is determined based on the financial need of the student and in some cases the student’s family. A Financial Aid Specialist will review each student’s total Financial Aid award eligibility. Students are not required to accept all forms of financial aid offered. The following are some of the Federal Financial Aid programs that Javelin offers. The Financial Aid Department recognizes that each student’s situation is unique; therefore, each application is kept confidential and is analyzed and considered on an individual basis.

Federal Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant is a grant that the student does not pay back. These awards are to help students pay for their education. The Pell Grant Program is the largest Federal student aid program. These grants provide a “foundation” of financial aid, to which aid from other Federal and non-Federal sources may be added.

Stafford Loans
Loans are sources of financial aid that must be repaid. Government-sponsored educational loans are preferable if you decide to borrow to pay for your education. They are better than traditional consumer loans because they usually offer lower interest rates and extended repayment terms, do not require collateral, and help students and parents with the costs of education.

Private Student Loans

If you need additional financial assistance in order to complete your education, we can help you to secure a private student loan. Javelin is affiliated with several financing companies that make educational loans available to our students. Interest rates and repayment terms vary with each financing program. Some loans require no money down and no payments for the first 12 months. Repayment terms can range from 3 years to 20 years.

Workforce Investment Act (WIA)

The federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program makes tuition assistance available at the state and county level for individuals who meet certain criteria. If you have been downsized or have been unemployed for an extended amount of time, you might qualify for free training at Javelin under the WIA program. Javelin Tech is an approved vendor for the City of Atlanta and for most local metro-Atlanta and surrounding counties including Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, Fayette, Gwinnett, Henry, Rockdale, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Polk, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Haralson, Murray, Paulding, Pickens, Walker and Whitfield. If you qualify for benefits under this program, you might qualify for tuition assistance and/or free training at Javelin.

Veteran’s Administration

Javelin Tech is approved by the Veteran's Administration to provide training for veterans and their families who wish to use their G.I. Bill or other veteran's training benefits to pay for their training. If you are a veteran, disabled veteran or if you are on active duty or in active reserve status, you might qualify for training funds.
