Veterans Entitled to Educational Assistance under Chapter 31 and Chapter 33: Career Development Institute, Inc. permits any covered individual* to attend and participate in program-required courses beginning on the date the individual provides the campus Financial Aid Office a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under Chapter 31 or 33 and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

The date on which payment from the VA is made to the institution.

90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees, following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility. 

CDI, Inc. will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement of funding from VA under Chapter 31 or 33.

Note that this policy applies to the portion of tuition and fees expected to be paid for the term under Chapter 31 or 33. Covered individuals* whose educational assistance eligibility under Chapter 31 or 33 is less than the full amount billed for tuition and required fees each term or enrollment period may be required to remit payment or make other satisfactory arrangements to pay the difference between the amount of the student’s financial obligation and the amount of the expected VA education benefit disbursement.

*For purposes of this disclosure, a covered individual is any enrolled student who is entitled to educational assistance under Chapter 31, Veteran Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, or Chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits.

Private Loans:  

If federal financial aid doesn’t cover the entire cost of your LVN requirements, you still have options. A private loan is a nonfederal loan made by a lender such as a bank, credit union, state agency, or educational institution. Private loans can be used to cover educational expenses beyond what is covered by federal loans. Specific eligibility requirements are outlined by each private lender and are typically credit-based.

Ask our Financial Aid Office about private loan options that may be available to you.

NSLDS Disclosure:

Please note that any federal loan borrowed by the student or parent will be submitted to the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS), and will be accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders, and schools determined to be authorized users of the data system.
