Does A.C.N.M. participate in or offer Federal or State Financial Aid/ Grants, or Tuition assistance?
No, we do not. As a Private, spiritually based Native American Tribal Organization, Ecclesiastical or Church Seminary, we do not participate in secular or state funding for educational purposes. Instead, our N.A.I.C.: A.C.N.M. Degree programs are on a donation basis, allowing us the freedom to be very generous regarding tuition and scholarships. Considering the current tuition in schools and programs that participate in Federal funding, even if an average student qualified for the maximum in grants and financial aid, they would often still pay out of pocket anywhere from two to ten times A.C.N.M. tuition! Our tuition structure does not leave students with a large amount of student loans to repay after graduation. Most students find that they have recouped multiple times their tuition and expenses before graduation.
