Financial Aid Rights

Applying for and accepting federal financial aid comes with a combination of rights and responsibilities for each student. NHI works with each student to help them become a knowledgeable consumer and a savvy borrower.

Student Rights

A student has the right ask a school:

What financial assistance is available, including information on all federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs.
What the deadlines are for submitting applications for each of the financial aid programs.
What is the cost of attendance and what are the policies concerning refunds should a student withdraw.
What criteria are utilized in selecting financial aid recipients.
How a student’s financial need is determined.
What resources are available (student/spouse contribution, other aid, savings, etc.).
What portion of the financial aid received must be repaid and what portion is grant aid.
What is the school’s policy for maintaining satisfactory academic progress and the consequences for failing to meet those standards.

Student Responsibilities

A student has the responsibility to:

Review and consider all information about a school’s program before he/she enrolls.
Complete their financial aid forms accurately and timely. Intentional misreporting of information on application forms for federal financial aid is a violation of law and is considered a criminal offense subject to penalties under the U.S. Criminal Code.
Return all additional documentation, verification, corrections and/or new information requested by either the Financial Aid Office or the agency to which he/she submitted his/her application.
Use federal and/or state student financial aid only to pay the cost of attending an institution of higher education.
Read and understand all forms that he/she is asked to sign, and keep copies of them.
Accept responsibility for all agreements he/she signs.
If he/she has a loan, notify the lender of changes in name, address, or school status.
Know and comply with the deadlines for application or reapplication for financial aid.

NHI made a huge impression on me while attending an open house event where I experienced such a peaceful, non-judgmental space with kind and patient teachers who strived to pass down their experience to make their students successful on their massage therapy journey. NHI opened doors for me to some exceptional clinics right after finishing the ANMT program.

National Holistic Institute truly is a great school. The instructors are passionate about their craft and really want their students to succeed. At NHI I learned so much about massage, energy transfer, trigger point theory but most importantly, I learned about myself. NHI literally changed my life and possibly saved it, I will forever be grateful to this institution.

NHI changed the way I viewed massage therapy. I went from seeing it as a luxury to a valuable part of recovery and overall health. They helped me see how much a difference I could make in being a well educated/trained massage therapist. The ANMT Program has definitely made my resume stand out to various employers which has given me multiple options for employment. It prepared me to work in any setting.

Jessica Gomez | Santa Ana Campus

I love working with people and bringing them relief. I moved out of state and quickly found employment. Once the hiring manager found out I was an NHI graduate, not only were they interested in hiring me but they also offered me a higher rate of pay because of the quality of my education. I could not believe they knew about NHI across the country. I am so happy in my new career and I know that it is based on the foundational learning that I received at NHI.
