Beach bodies and rock-hard abs are nice, but it REALLY pays to get FINANCIALLY FIT. If you know you are meant for a better career, but don’t think you can afford it, don’t sweat it! You got options. In the time it takes to warm up at the gym, we’ll simplify the different kinds of financial aid. Enjoy!
Starring: Kasey, our admissions representative at SCI Austin as T, the Dairy Princess.
Transcribed below.

A: “Wow, girl, I need break.”
T: “Me too. From my dead-end job that is. I can’t keep workin’ at Dairy Princess. Plus, I gotta workout twice as long to work off all the Freezies I eat.
A: I hear that. Well, you know you can go back to school.
T: School’s EXPENSIVE, tho. I can’t afford it.
A: Have you NOT heard about financial aid? If you qualify, they could save you thousands off tuition. And some you don’t have to pay back.
T: Really? Which ones?
A: I’ll start with the Pell Grant. You’ll find out how you qualify for that by filling out FAFSA. I’ll tell you after we run these Fabulous SCItv Opening Credits…
T: Bless You.
Thanks, but that’s not a sneeze, FAFSA stands for “Free Application for Federal Student Aid.” You definitely want to fill that out to qualify for other types of government grants. T: Woah, so by filling out that form, I’ll get access to free money?A: Yeah! But hold on, that’s not the only way…The next are Institutional Grants. SCI offers a lot of different types of grants that are exclusive to us like our
Financial Literacy Grant. SCI sets aside some cash to help you pay for the cost of school If you meet the requirements and commit to continuous enrollment.
T: So as long as I complete school, SCI will give me a break off tuition?
A: In many cases, YES. And hey…isn’t your dad in the army?
T: Yeah, but what does that have to do with school?
A: That might save you up to $2K off of your tuition if you qualify for SCI’s Military Grant. It’s open to spouses and dependents.
T: Well I’ve always been daddy’s little girl…
A: And what would make him REALLY happy is if his little girl saved on her post-high school education by applying for the Career Opportunity Grant. This one’s a big one–could take $4K off the total tuition costs if you qualify.T: Wow that’s awesome! But what if I STILL can’t afford it after all that?
A: Well, there’s also our Need Based grant that is dependent on your income, transfer credits, and like all of them, some programs and start dates may not be eligible. The only way to know is to get in touch with an admissions rep.
Also, I should probably tell you…

[Wipes with towel, throws it to T who looks grossed out and drops it].
T: Me too a good workout in, but that grant stuff is really no sweat at all. Ah, shoot, Dairy Princess just texted me. I’m gonna reach out to a rep ASAP.
A: Does that mean no more Freezies discounts?
T: Afraid not.
A: That’s cold, T, that’s cold. But…And my love handles thank you. I love that you’re bettering your career.

“I made a complete career change when I started my training at Southern Careers Institute. I needed a stable career to continue providing for my growing family. SCI provided me with the medical terminology and know how that I needed to understand and acquire a career in the medical field. SCI taught me that it doesn’t matter where you are in life right now; you always have room to advance and learn.”
Denise S.

“I am extremely grateful for the assistance I received from SCI’s Career Services team. I enjoy where I work and what I do. SCI has helped me succeed in life by getting me the necessary education and by making me a stronger and more confident person.”
Raquel S.
“Once I graduated from SCI, I had a sense of accomplishment that helped me through the job search process. SCI provided me with the opportunity to brush up on my skills, extend my accounting knowledge, and they boosted my self-confidence. I went to work two days after my last day of school.”
Annette D.
Business Accounting
“When my youngest child graduated from high school, I told my husband that it was my time. I went back to school to change careers after spending 37 years in the business field. At SCI, the instructors are professional, and they care about what they are teaching you, as well as expect you to give 100% in return. I had problems understanding how to draw in syringes and give injections. I requested extra help from a knowledgeable instructor, and I was able to receive one-on-one training. Today, I draw injections for approximately 100 patients each week. I am very confident in what I’ve learned. SCI has given me the chance to do what I always wanted to do. Thank you for my education. I am doing wonderful.”
Bonnie M
Medical Assistant
“I am now a certified Lab Tech. SCI helped me get an externship, and I came out with a job. After my little sister had cancer, I knew I wanted a career in the medical field that allowed me to help others. I am happy about what I do.”

“Southern Careers Institute totally surpassed my expectations. Once I finished school, the Career Services team helped me find a job. I would tell anyone thinking about starting career training that you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. I wish I would have started my training sooner.”
