Types of Grants Available to Students
Cyber Technology Scholarship
The university offers students institutional grants based on financial need and availability of
funds. To qualify for the grant, students must submit proof of income for the most
recent calendar year.
This income-based scholarship is awarded to students on an annual basis to assist with the
acquisition of technological resources (computer, laptop, software, etc.) for $700 and must be renewed annually by way of application. Eligible students must demonstrate
financial need and maintain a 3.0 or highergrade point average. The student must also
submit an essay on how the funds will assist with the completion of their degree.
Grant Application Process
Many students find it helpful to discuss their situation with one of our agents to
plan and arrange funding for their education through one or more applicable grants.
The process is as follows:
1 Go to the University Website and download the grant application.
2 Fill out truthfully your application and attach proof of eligibility and any other
documentation that can help verify your credentials.
3. Within 2 weeks, the university reviews your application and responds with a decision
or requests further documentation.
4. Students will be informed through email and must agree by signing on the grant
approval letter within 5 business days, failure to return your approval automatically
transfers the offer to the next applicant on the waiting list.
Grant Withdrawal and Re-entry Policy
Grant recipients who decide to withdraw from the university will forfeit any un-disbursed
Grant funds earned before their withdrawal. If the students re-enter a program, he/she
should re-apply for the Grant.
University’s Payment Plans and Financial Assistance
For all students who prefer to pay out of pocket, there are several payment plans available.
Payment plans are discussed during meetings where the student is evaluated, privately and
impartially, to determine the dollar amount that they and their family can be expected to
contribute to their education. This amount is then compared to the associated cost of education,
including tuition, fees, housing, meals, transportation, certain living expenses, books, and
supplies. Payment arrangements must be made before the start of the term/semester. This
means that students on a tuition payment plan must make their first payment before the term
begins. The University does not charge interest rates on its payment plan.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
If a student wishes to cancel his or her enrollment either prior to or after classes has begun,
he or she must notify in person, by electronic mail, by Certified Mail or by termination to
Birchwood University. The cancellation shall be effective on the date the notice is
postmarked.
- Cancellation can be made in person, by electronic mail, by Certified Mail, by termination, or can be effective on the last date of attendance by the student or the date of written notice received.
- All monies will be refunded if the school does not accept the applicant or if the student cancels within three (3) business days after signing the enrollment agreement and making the initial payment.
- Cancellation after the third (3rd) Business Day, but before the first class, results in a refund of all monies paid, except for the registration fee. (Not to exceed $150.00)
- The drop/add period is the first week of classes. There will be a refund of all tuition and fees except the registration fee if the student withdraws on or during the drop/add week. There will be no refund after the drop/add week.
- Termination Date: In calculating the refund due to a student, the last date of actual attendance by the student is used in the calculation.
