The philosophy of the Financial Aid Office at George Stone Technical College is that everyone desiring training should have the opportunity to attend school, regardless of their financial situation. We promote financial assistance opportunities to eligible students who might otherwise be deprived of the benefit of technology training. The primary purpose of the student financial aid program at George Stone is to provide financial assistance to students who, without aid, would be unable to attend school.

Financial assistance is offered in the form of grants, scholarships, and federally funded programs. Financial assistance is viewed only as supplementary. The student and the family of a student are expected to make a maximum effort to assist with educational expenses. Any prospective student enrolled or currently enrolled student may apply for financial aid.
