Understanding Your Funding Options
Detroit Business Institute is committed to providing students with information regarding available funding options to assist with educational expenses. Financial aid eligibility varies based on individual circumstances and program enrollment.
Students are encouraged to speak with the Financial Aid Office to review available options.
Types of Financial Assistance
Financial assistance may include, where applicable:
- Federal financial aid programs for eligible students
- State grants and scholarship opportunities
- Institutional payment plans
- Employer-sponsored tuition assistance
- Workforce or third-party funding (when available)
Eligibility for each funding source is determined according to federal, state, and institutional requirements.
Federal Financial Aid
Students who qualify may be eligible to apply for federal financial aid programs. Eligibility is determined by the U.S. Department of Education and requires completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Not all programs may be eligible for federal aid. Students should consult the Financial Aid Office for program-specific eligibility information.
Application Process
To begin the financial aid process, students should:
- Complete the FAFSA (if applicable)
- Submit any required verification documentation
- Meet with a Financial Aid Representative
- Review and sign financial aid award documentation
Financial aid awards are based on eligibility, enrollment status, and program participation.
FAFSA Links & Resources
June 30, 2026
The FAFSA form must be submitted by 11:59 pm Central Time (CT) on June 30th of each calendar year. Any corrections or updates must be submitted by the date provided annually by the Department of Education. See the Federal Deadlines site link below.
FAFSA Renewal
The FAFSA must be submitted every year to remain eligible to for financial aid. Why? Because it’s possible your financial situation or your family’s financial situation (if you’re a dependent) has changed. Most of your information may carry over from the previous year’s FAFSA.
Tuition & Payment Plans
Students who do not qualify for federal or state aid may inquire about institutional payment arrangements, if available.
Tuition rates, fees, and payment policies are published in the School Catalog and Consumer Information section.
Important Information
Financial aid is not guaranteed. Eligibility is determined based on applicable federal, state, and institutional guidelines.
Students are responsible for understanding their financial obligations prior to enrollment. Award amounts, repayment terms, and conditions vary depending on the funding source.
