More To Know
- Refund Policy and Requirements for Withdrawal and Return of Federal Financial Aid
The law specifies how our school must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that a student may earn if he or she withdraws from school.
- Military Benefits
Individuals transitioning from military service may use the GI Bill in order to fund their education. For more information, visit the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
- Federal Student Financial Aid Penalties for Drug Law Violations
The federal government does not take kindly to dispersing financial aid to a student only to learn of that student’s drug violation or sexual offense, and neither does The Elaine Sterling Institute. Such violations can result in termination of enrollment and termination of federal financial aid.

All student attendance hours are reported to the Department of Education and Georgia State Board of Cosmetology. Students are required to attend class according to their scheduled hours. All scheduled hours are based on full-time enrollment. Special schedules may be allowed with written approval of the School Director. Hours include Saturday hours and students are expected to attend consistently. Students are expected to notify the Institute of any absence, scheduled or unscheduled.
