This does include any form of post-secondary education including standard undergraduate school, technical school, community college and even cosmetology school. We will have financial aid representatives on site to answer any questions and provide assistance. You will need to bring the following items with you:
• Social Security Numbers
• Student Driver's License (if applicable)
