Frequently Asked Questions

What expenses are covered?

The ACA program covers a wide range of career-related costs including tuition fees, professional licensing and exam fees, accreditation, certifications, textbooks, and even certain living expenses while you are studying. This ensures you have the financial support needed to successfully complete your program.

Do I need a cosigner?

Not always. If you have a steady source of income or your household income meets the program’s requirements, you may qualify on your own. However, if you do not meet the minimum income threshold, you can still apply with the support of a guarantor or cosigner.

How soon can I get approved?

Approval timelines vary depending on how quickly you submit your documents and complete the application process. Typically, applications are reviewed within a few weeks, and successful applicants can access funds shortly after approval.

What happens if I cannot repay immediately?

The ACA program offers flexible repayment options designed to align with your financial situation. If you face challenges, you may be eligible for repayment deferrals or adjusted payment schedules. The goal is to support you in achieving career success without creating unnecessary financial stress.
