Financial Aid
Massage Therapy Education is approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. We know that pursuing your future as a Licensed Massage Therapist is a meaningful investment. Although we are not eligible to participate in federal financial aid programs (such as FAFSA), students may still qualify for support through county-based grants funded by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
Depending on eligibility, these grants can cover part—or even all—of your tuition.
Important Information
MTE does not supply or approve these grants.
Grants are administered directly through your county workforce office.
Eligibility depends on your county of residence and income level.
