Because Skinworks School of Advanced Skin Care is accredited by the Council of Occupational Education (COE) and have been approved by the Department of Education (DOE), we are approved to offer Title IV financial aid to those who qualify. Skinworks School offers the following Title IV programs:
If you have an appointment with the financial aid office, we will be able to answer any questions you may have on the application. Once the application is received by our offices, we will process your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) within 3-business days. The application will be sent to the Central Processing System (CPS) and you should receive a verification of your application by way of e-mail or street address. |
 If there are any discrepancies in processing, we will send you a letter or call within 3-business days of receiving the information. If a student is selected for verification, Skinworks gives students a deadline of 7-business days (in-state) or 10-business days (out-of-state) to complete verification. Failure to complete verification within 30 days could result in owing cash for the program. Skinworks is dedicated to working with its students if documents are not provided within the specified time-frame. For your convenience, if there are any changes to be addressed/made to your Student Aid Report (SAR) please notify the school. We will process necessary information in-house. If the result of verification changes the student award, a new award letter will be sent by mail or in-person, whichever is most convenient. Once enrolled into the college, please note that Title IV money cannot be disbursed until all discrepancies/verification items are addressed, we have a valid output document (SAR/ISIR) and an award letter is signed. If we suspect that a student, employee or other individual has misreported information or altered documentation to increase student aid eligibility or to fraudulently obtain federal funds, we will report any suspicions and provide any evidence to the Office of Inspector General at 1-800-MIS-USED or on-line at: http://www.ed.gov/ofices/OIG. |
 Skinworks School Institutional Refund Policy – Return of Title IV Funds Policy As part of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, Congress passed new provisions governing what must happen to Federal financial assistance if a student withdraws from school in any program length. If a student withdraws from Skinworks School, then the school or the student may be required to return some of the federal aid awarded to the student. The student may also be eligible for a refund of a portion of the tuition and fees paid to Skinworks School for the length of the program. Institutional Refund Policy A student shall be refunded, within 60 days of his/her last day of attendance, a percentage of all tuition paid over and above a nonrefundable registration fee of $100.00. Refunds, when due, shall be made with 30 days of the last day of attendance if written notification of withdrawal has been provided to the institution by the student. The balance due will be calculated using the following schedule.
Skinworks Return of Title IV Federal Aid Policy Federal regulations assume Federal financial aid awards are earned directly in proportion to the number of days of the program attended until the withdrawal date. If withdrawn from school during a portion of the total hours the school must calculate, according to a specific formula, the portion of the total scheduled financial assistance earned and are therefore entitled to receive up to the withdrawal date. If Skinworks School receives more assistance than earned, the unearned excess funds must be returned to the Department of Education. On the other hand, if Skinworks School receives less assistance than earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds. The portion of earned Federal student aid is calculated on a percentage basis by comparing the total number of days in the program length to the number of days completed. For example, if 30% of the program length is completed, 30% of the Federal aid is earned. This means that 70% of the scheduled award for this period remain unearned and must be returned to the Department of Education. Once 60% or more of the program length is completed, all (100%) of your assistance is considered earned. If you withdraw from Skinworks School before completing 60% of the program length, you may have to repay any unearned financial aid funds that were already disbursed to you. If excess funds are received based on this calculation, Skinworks School must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of: If Skinworks School is not required to return all the excess funds, the student must return the remaining amount. The order that Skinworks School and the student must return these funds is as follows: If you are required to repay loan funds, this is done in accordance with the terms of your loan promissory note. If you must repay any grant funds, the law states that you are required to repay only 50% of the grant assistance was calculated to repay. Any grant amount that a student must repay is considered a grant overpayment and therefore must be repaid to Skinworks School or the Department of Education within 45 days or it will be reported to the Department of Education.  Skinworks is nationally accredited with the Council On Occupational Education (COE). Provisions For Makeup Work
