FINANCIAL
AIDE
As
a part of the Orange County Public
Schools System, each Tech Center maintains a financial
aid office. We are committed to meeting the needs of the individual
students. Financial Assistance is available for eligible students
who may not be able to continue their education without such support.
Once eligibility has been determined, the student receiving financial
aid is expected to maintain satisfactory progress and attendance
as defined by our policy. All students interested in applying for
financial aid should make an appointment with the financial aid
office.
Once a Free Application for Federal Student Aid has been
completed and processed the student should schedule an appointment
with the financial aid office to discuss eligibility requirements.
The following sources of financial aid are available through
Westside Tech: Federal
Pell Grant, Migrant/Seasonal
Farmworkers Program, Title IV, Section 402, Central
Florida J.E.P., One-Stop Center System, Veterans
Education Benefits, Student Financial Assistant Fund (SFAF).
