Financial Information and Financial Assistance
Birthingway’s Loan Program Code of Conduct prohibits conflict of interest with regards to our staff members who assist students in borrowing private or alternative loans, and outside lending, guarantee or servicing agencies.
Our Financial Aid pages contain information about student loan entrance and exit counseling.
Please read this excerpt from the 2021-2022 Federal Student Aid Handbook (Vol 1, Page 33)
Visit Birthingway’s Financial Aid page for general and contact information.
Please review our Institutional Refund Schedule.
In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, all Title IV post-secondary institutions are required to post a Net Price Calculator to their school’s website in order to help prospective students estimate total cost and financial assistance. However, under the HEOA, institutions that do not enroll first-time, full-time degree-seeking students are not required to have a Net Price Calculator.
At this time, Birthingway’s only Title IV eligible program is our Midwifery Program. This program does not enroll any first-time students, as all students in this program are required to complete college-level prerequisite courses prior to acceptance.
While we do not have a Net Price Calculator, we are eager to help you estimate the potential cost to attend. Please contact our Financial Aid Officer for more assistance.
Birthingway will gladly work with students who are interested in financing their education with the support of private student loans. The college maintains a Preferred Lender List and borrower information on our financial aid page.
To receive more information about private loans, please contact Birthingway’s Financial Aid Officer.
Please read our Return of Title IV Funds policy.
