Financial Aid

Office of Financial Aid

Welcome to the office of Financial Aid at the Electrical and HVAC/R Training Center. It is our goal to make the financial aid process as simple as possible. Traditionally, the financial aid process is put on the shoulders of the student and their family. Here at the Electrical and HVAC/R Training Center we offer a one on one approach, not only to assist with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) but to also get to know our students and their loved ones.

To set up your one on one interview contact the Electrical and HVAC/R Training Center at (631)226-8021 ext.118 or ext.116.

If you would like to get a head start, see the process below. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Kallie or Gina in the Financial Aid Department at the number above during the following times:  
  •   Monday & Wednesday 11am-7pm
  •   Tuesday & Thursday 9am-5pm
  •   Friday 8am-3pm
