Understanding
Your Options.
Your education shouldn't be out of reach.
We help make it manageable.
Start with
the FAFSA.
The FAFSA is free to complete and takes about 30 minutes. It's how the government determines your eligibility for federal grants and loans. We recommend completing it early.

Financial Aid Options
Every student's financial situation is different. Here are the types of aid that may be available to you.
Federal Financial Aid
For students who qualify, federal aid can cover a significant portion of tuition. This includes Pell Grants (money you don't have to repay) as well as federal loan options.
Veterans Benefits (GI Bill®)
OMNA Institute accepts veterans education benefits through the GI Bill®. If you or a family member has served, you may be eligible for significant education funding.
Payment Plans
If federal aid doesn't cover your full balance, payment plans are available. Plans are structured based on your program length and designed to be manageable.
Other Funding Options
Additional funding sources may be available depending on your situation, including state-based programs, workforce development funding, and employer assistance.
