The Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine works hard to offer a supportive educational atmosphere.  CSTCM makes every effort to assist students in obtaining educational funding. 

CSTCM is certified by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in the Title IV Student Aid Programs including Stafford subsidized and unsubsidized student loans. To be eligible for federal student aid at CSTCM, students must be enrolled at least half-time and comply with all CSTCM academic procedures and guidelines.

CSTCM is approved to offer various private bank loans.  These are very competitive as an alternative to federal student aid loans.  CSTCM also offers an interest-free payment plan with a down payment and monthly payments thereafter.  The school occasionally makes available various work-study positions.  Interested students are asked to submit a letter of interest for work-study positions along with a resume / CV to the Administration office.

Private corporations and foundations which offer scholarships and grants can be found in most public and university libraries.  There are also financial institutions and private banks that offer educational loans or home equity loans (where the interest is tax deductible) that can be used for educational purposes.

Places to research grants / scholarships include the public library in the Sociology Section non-profit bookshelf.  Other financial aid resources are: Student Financial network, 7800 S. Elati St., Suite 300, Littleton, CO 80120, phone 303-797-7312 and the Colorado Foundation Directory available from the Junior League for a fee.  For a free scholarship search on the web try www.fastweb.com
