Getting Started with Financial Aid
Brightpoint offers many financial aid options to help you pay for your college education.
Financial Aid can be used to cover expenses like tuition, fees, and books and supplies. Financial Aid is awarded in different forms:
Active-duty military, veterans and their dependents can also utilize Military & Veterans Educational Benefits to pay for their classes.
To get started, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Some funds are first-come, first-served, so it’s best to complete your FAFSA when it becomes available on October 1.
Complete the 2024-25 FAFSA if attending during the Spring 2025 or Summer 2025 semesters. Complete the 2025-26 FAFSA if attending during the Fall 2025, Spring 2026, or Summer 2026 semesters. The 2025-26 FAFSA is now open!
