FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS

International Academy participates in Financial Aid Programs (Title IV) to assist students who need money to attend school. Whether a student is eligible for assistance, and how much, is determined by the need of the particular student. Each case is different. The Federal Financial Aid Programs which the school makes available are the Pell Grant, Direct Loan Program and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available in the Financial Aid office or can be completed on-line. The FAFSA form must be completed first, then processed via Internet by the school with the proper office listed on the form. Our Financial Aid office will assist every student that needs help with their applications.

 

SCHOLARSHIPS

Corporate and Industry Scholarships are available periodically throughout the year, depending on their current funding. See Financial Aid counselors for details to qualify and/or apply. Any scholarships that International Academy might make available are available to all students, in all programs, whether they are Title IV qualified or a Non-Title IV student.

 

CONSTITUTION DAY

September 17 is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day (Constitution Day). This day commemorates the September 17, 1787 signing of the United States Constitution. Each educational institution that receives Federal funds for a fiscal year is required to hold an educational program about the U.S. Constitution for its students. International Academy acknowledges this special day by celebrating Constitution week with our students. During the week which falls around the 17th of September, the campus provides the students with lessons and activities to teach and enlighten the students. Activities range from classroom presentations, guest speakers (Daughters of the American Revolution), serving lunch of “American Favorites” hotdogs and apple pie, door decorating contests, and red/white/blue dress down activities.

ACADEMY CLOSURE DUE TO AN EMERGENCY

In the event the Academy needs to be closed due to an Emergency regarding hurricane, flooding, fire, etc., a notice will be placed on the door and on schools website (and if possible, notified by an alternate source, ie: tv, newspaper, radio, text message or posted at the academy driveway entrance) giving staff and students necessary safety response information, as well as notification of reopening information. A number that they can call for more information will also be provided. Furthermore, an emergency announcement will be placed on the schools automated phone system, if the system is accessible. All student and client data in our computer systems is backed up regularly, and taken off site and kept in a secure location.

 

WEAPONS ON CAMPUS

International Academy has a zero tolerance regarding weapons on campus. No knives, guns (pistols or rifles), bomb materials, bow & arrows, bazookas, tasers, stun guns, fireworks or anything that could be deemed a weapon by legal authorities (ATF, local Police, etc.) are not permitted on campus (campus is defined as parking lot and buildings). Violation of this rule will result in immediate termination and notification to the appropriate authorities. Any student , faculty or staff members who sees or hears of anyone on campus with a weapon is urged to notify the Administrative offices immediately.

 

HATE CRIME REPORTING

The current federal regulations require institutions to report as hate crimes any occurrence of criminal homicide, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny-theft, simple assault, intimidation, (bullying) destruction, damage, or vandalism of property and any other crime involving bodily injury to be reported to local law enforcement agencies that manifests evidence that the victim was intentionally selected because of the perpetrator’s bias. Students are encouraged to report crimes that fall into this category to your instructor or directly to the Administration as soon as possible. All faculty and staff hearing of any such crimes are to report them immediately to Administration.

 

STUDENT CONDUCT

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a courteous, respectful and professional manner and observe school rules at all times. See “Rules and Regulations Sampling” section this catalog: If a first time student or previously enrolled student is dismissed or terminated from school for any reason other than fighting, weapons violation or drugs or withdraws on their own, at the schools discretion, the school may not consider the student for re-enrollment or returning to school for a minimum period of 6 months. (Complete school rules and regulations are issued on the day of Orientation in the “Student Handbook” and may be subject to change. Should a change occur all students will be subject to the new rule(s).)

 

NET PRICE CALCULATOR

The Net Price Calculator is a tool that you can use to estimate your “net price” to attend a particular college or university. Net price is the difference between the full cost to attend a specific college, minus any grants and scholarships for which you may be eligible. This cost includes direct charges (tuition and fees, room and board) and indirect costs (books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses).

Remember…..Direct charges are set by the school and normally don’t change without notice. Indirect costs (off- campus room and board, transportation and personal expenses) can range because of the preference and living style of the individual student (For example, a monthly car payment on a used Chevy is going to be significantly different that a new BMW). These should be kept in mind when reviewing college “net price” calculations which include costs other than tuition and books.

International Academy is not just a school for me, they became my family. Even when I visit as a graduate, I feel like I am visiting my family. Since Graduation, I have been employed with Great Clips and love my career. I am beginning Management training there and I owe it all to the training I received at International Academy. They truly exceeded my expectations!

Ernest C.

Before I came to International Academy I was working a job that was both physically and mentally draining. I came to International Academy and fell in love with not only the facilities but also the staff. The teachers and administrators really care about their students and want them to succeed. The difference I found in this school vs. others was that at International we were like a family. I completed both the massage and skin programs and was prepared to go out into the real world. I graduated and obtained a great job in the same week. I chalk that up to the skills I learned at International Academy.

Jennifer I.

I am now the proud owner of Serenity Salon & Spa an 1800 square foot facility in St. Augustine, Florida. I really owe all of this to International Academy for giving me the education that allowed me to make this dream come true.
