Financing Your Chicago School Education

Never has there been a more critical –or a more challenging-- time for deliberate and strategic career planning.  In times of economic uncertainty, possibly the best investment you can make is in your education, and in the professional credentials that can lay the groundwork for your future.

If you have already decided on a career as a psychology professional, you probably know that the U.S. Department of Labor has identified it as a career that is growing "much faster than average," with projections of new jobs ranging from 20 to 48 percent over the next seven years.

The time is right for you to pursue your dream, and we are here to help it happen. Financial aid is available and The Chicago School Financial Aid Office is committed to helping identify the opportunities, understand the options, and make the choices that are right for you.

While we feel certain that your degree will be worth every penny you spend—both in terms of professional satisfaction and increased income—we want you to be prepared. Contact us, and let us help.

• Phone or In-Person Consultations: Our financial aid counselors are available to answer questions for both new and continuing students, to explore both the pros and cons of various financial aid options, and to help you build the most appropriate plan for you. Appointments are available from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays; while we recommend making an appointment to guarantee your time, walk-ins will also be accommodated Monday through Thursday. You may contact Financial Aid by calling 312.329-6699 or by emailing our Financial Aid department.

• Informational Workshops: Our financial aid staff hosts regular seminars on topics such as budgeting, loans and scholarships, and loan forgiveness programs—and even hands-on workshops at which our staff will assist you with completing your FAFSA paperwork to apply for federal student loans.

• Online Chat: For fast answers to specific questions or concerns, you may also chat live now with a financial aid advisor. We suggest you review the information available on this site before your chat.
