I understand that Workforce Education Services Funding is designed to support students with limited financial aid and that I am expected to apply for Financial Aid through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). I further understand that if I am awarded WES Funding, any student loans I have applied for may be reduced or canceled quarterly which will allow me to receive WES support funds and will decrease the amount of debt I will incur while in school. I understand that I will be responsible for all tuition and fees due for any reason, to include providing incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent financial aid information or I am not maintaining satisfactory progress or attendance. I understand that I will be responsible for any and all expenses, including but not limited to, books, supplies, transportation, childcare, housing, and any additional educational costs. I appear to be eligible for Workforce Education Services. If for any reason I am found to be ineligible or not approved, I will be fully responsible for all tuition and fees due. This is not a guaranteed award, but an award estimate is pending.
