We are Licensed with the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges & Schools License No. 80-07-0696T. We are not eligible for federal financial aid, because we are not a 2-4 year school. In an effort to provide a financial option for The RecW students, we created The RecW Student Loan program.
The RecW Student Loan
The RecW Student Loan
The RecW is pleased to offer a unique option for financial aid. The RecW Student Loan is a tuition loan program designed to help those who have found it tougher to get assistance through traditional sources.
Application FormWhat is different about The RecW Student Loan is that it enables students (and their co-signer) to work directly with us.
This is possible because The RecW Student Loan is a financial aid option that looks more towards the future rather than the past. Approval is largely based on students showing they have a plan to smartly use the skills and knowledge gained from an education at The RecW.
Instead of submitting extensive financial records, applying for assistance through The RecW Student Loan Application involves a written questionnaire that lets the student express their professional goals and demonstrate their focus.
The RecW knows the success that is possible through the combination of our training bundled with the efforts of a well-focused graduate. We know what our grads can do.

The RecW Student Loan Application
- Borrow $1500 for 18 months (Tuition credit applied to CORE Program) - OR - Borrow $2000 for 24 months (Tuition credit applied to CORE Program + ADVANCED Programs).
- If you get approved for the $1500 loan for the CORE Program, you can decide later if you also want to take the Optional ADVANCED Program and receive an additional $500 credit.
- You must be a US Citizen and be at least 18 years old.
- You must be a Registered Student for a session of The RecW CORE Program with your $315 down payment on file. Applying for The RecW Student Loan is a separate process from registering to attend a session of The RecW CORE Program. Your RecW Student Loan Application can be sent in along with your CORE Program Registration Form, but the Registration Form must be accepted before your RecW Student Loan Application will be processed.
- Interest rates vary by individual . Monthly payments on this loan average $99
- There is a limit to the available RecW Student Loan funds on a per-session basis. Applications must be submitted at least two weeks before the start of classes, but an earlier submission is strongly suggested.
- If your RecW Student Loan Application is approved, you will be contacted and asked to accept the loan offer. If you accept, you must then fill out the loan agreement in order to complete the process. This must be completed and signed before your loan can be finalized.
- You must have a cosigner.
- Your first payment is due 30 days after your last day of classes at The RecW.
Other Financial Aid Options
The RecW makes every effort to keep tuition affordable. Even so, some students need financial aid to make training possible. Federally backed student loans are designed for longer-term study and do not apply to the short-term programs we offer. However, alternative funding is sometimes available through other government programs and special interest organizations. Eligibility requirements for these financial assistance programs vary greatly. Contacting your local employment services office is the best way to explore if any of these funding sources are available to you.
And here’s some honest insight about Financial Aid in general:
Lean and efficient is the smart strategy. And The RecW is very lean and efficient. It makes us dutifully concerned when we hear how much loan debt some schools pile on their students. This career path does not require putting yourself under that crushing load.
