Overview
Students at Gnomon utilize a variety of financial assistance options to fund their education. Our Financial Aid Advisors can help you determine what you qualify for, even before applying to the program.
Financial Aid | Domestic Students
Gnomon is approved by the US Department of Education to offer Federal financial aid, including Pell Grants, Work-Study, Direct Loans, and Parent PLUS Loans to those who qualify.
All students interested in seeking Federal financial assistance will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Assistance (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov. Include Gnomon’s school code (040764) so that it will be sent to us for review.
At Gnomon, Federal financial aid is only available to students who are accepted and enrolled in the following full-time programs:
- BFA Degree in Digital Production
- 2-Year Certificate in Digital Production
For students registering for individual courses, or courses within the Foundation in Art & Design series, Federal assistance is not available, however, private education loans are available to those who qualify.
Private Education Loans
In addition to offering federal financial aid options, Gnomon offers Private Education Loan options to those who qualify.
These loans can be used to cover tuition and estimated living expenses.
They are credit-based and will most likely require a co-signer.
Below is a link to FastChoice disclosures and information on the loan products offered by the lenders.
