About a month later, when our when our first semester starts, $3,542 via check or PayPal or $3,439 via Zelle is due. And, about six month later, when our last semester starts, $3,542 via check or PayPal or $3,439 via Zelle is due, unless other arrangements have been made. All of the exact dates and details are provided upon acceptance.
Financial Aid:
Unfortunately, dietetic internships do not qualify for federal financial aid unless they are part of a degree granting program, so tuition for GTTN internship is not a “qualified educational expense.” This means the program cannot provide 1098-T forms and does not qualify for federal financial aid. Some students enroll in a Master’s Degree program while doing the internship part-time, which allows them to qualify for federal financial aid.
Interns may request a deferral for previously acquired student loans, which is accepted by some, but not all, lenders. Intern should email the assistant director with this request.
