Another program from Metra Electronics‘ Installer Institute for car audio education is eligible for Title IV funding. The 26-week Comprehensive Installations Program now offers Federal Student Loans and Pell Grants for those who qualify.
The program’s eligibility allows students to submit a free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the Installer Institute’s federal code, 042742, to determine eligibility for federal financial aid.
“We’re thrilled to receive financial aid for our 26-week program, as it will allow students with financial needs to receive benefits that will help cover a great portion of their tuition,” said Monica Anderson, director of the Installer Institute. “Overall, federal financial aid makes our training programs more accessible to students of all backgrounds who are eager to train for a career in mobile, marine and home electronics. Installer Institute is a legitimate training facility where we focus on real hands-on training and the constant growth of our Industry.”
