Note that students may apply to the program while completing prerequisite course work. Applicants must have at least a 2.25 cumulative GPA with a grade of C or better in all required courses. The residential modules are designed to nurture a learning community. Even for those living near the module sites, staying on site and paying the room and board fees are required. Modules located at the LIOS office are nonresidential.
Applicants are eligible to apply for federal and state grants and guaranteed student loans.
You should begin this process when you decide to apply to the program. The LIOS Scholarship Committee is another source of funds. You must have completed at least one quarter of the program to apply for a LIOS scholarship. Some organizations offer tuition reimbursement. Check with your employer.
