Financial Aid & Tuition

Tuition varies from one program to another. In any case, tuition and actual out-of-pocket cost may be completely different things depending on your financial aid eligibility. Speak with an Admissions Representative for more information about tuition.

The tuition cost for each program does not include funds for course materials, textbooks, lab feeds, gear package, accident insurance, and technology fees. Those on active duty and veterans pay less tuition and may be eligible for military educational benefits.

Course Materials/Textbooks, Lab Fees, Gear Packages, Accident Insurance and Technology Fee is included in the program’s overall cost.

Yes, we do have a Financial Aid Department that can assist you with any questions and processing your application for Financial Aid which consists of both grants and student loans. You can complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online.

Tulsa, Jacksonville, Houston, Dallas Metro Locations code: 015733
Atlanta Metro code: 014127

Most students are eligible to receive financial aid from the federal government to fund their investment in trade school. Several factors influence eligibility: whether or not you completed high school or have a GED, are enrolled or accepted as a student in a qualifying program and more. See this Federal Student Aid Department infographic for all of the requirements to qualify for financial aid.

After you speak with an Admissions Representative to determine eligibility for enrollment and complete an application you may complete the FAFSA online. Contact us once you have completed this process and we will assist you with your next steps to determine what types of financial aid that you may qualify for.

Financial aid is available for those who qualify.

Scholarships: You do not have to pay back scholarships.

Federal Grants: If you withdraw early from your training program, switch from full-time enrollment to part-time or if you received outside scholarships or grants that reduced your need for federal aid, then you might have to repay part or all of your federal grants.

Loans: Loans must be repaid with interest.

There is only one application to determine your Federal Loan and Grant eligibility. This is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA. Various parts of the application, however, might warrant verification by completing subsequent documents. Depending on other sources of funding you apply for, there may be additional applications or documents to complete.

No. Scholarships and grants are gift aid to help fund your training investment.iii Federal
student aid is also NOT based on credit history, but on eligibility. Your credit history can influence the Federal Parent PLUS loan or any private loans

FAFSAs can be subject to a random process called verification. This requires that the applicant either use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool on the FAFSA or provide a copy of his or her taxes for that year. Please contact your TWS Financial Aid Advisor to see if you qualify to use the online tool for the fastest results. Until selected, please do not provide tax documents to the school.

Visit your local IRS office and ask for a copy of your tax transcripts. You can also obtain a digital copy. Visit the IRS’ website to access your tax records.

A complete tuition plan is a key step in securing your seat in class. Completing the FAFSA quickly upon enrolling helps us map out a financial plan for your investment and ensure you have funding for your program. There are many steps to financial aid and additional documentation may be required. The sooner the FAFSA is completed, the sooner we will know what additional documents, if any, are needed. Additionally, “Gift Aid” is often first come, first serve. The sooner you complete the process, the less likely it is to run out.

If the following information describes you, then the Department of Education considers you a dependent of your parents, meaning you rely on them for financial support:

  • You are under the age of 24.
  • You are not married.
  • You have no children or dependents.
  • Some unusual circumstances may require exceptions. (Custody is not a qualifier)

If you are a dependent, then your parents’ information is required on the FAFSA. This does not make your parents liable for any loans under their name. Instead, it helps to determine what federal grants you may qualify for.

There are circumstances under which the student and school can appeal to override the need for parent information. These include abandonment, death, incarceration or institutionalization.

Yes. Parents who are not citizens or do not have a SSN will still be able to fill out the FAFSA. They will enter all zeros as their SSN, and they will need to physically print a signature page, sign and mail the copy to us.

Our addresses are listed below.

  • Tulsa, OK: 2545 E 11th Street, Tulsa, OK, 74104
  • Jacksonville, FL: 3500 Southside Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32216
  • Houston, TX: 243A Greens Rd., Houston, TX 77060
  • Dallas Metro, TX: 700 E. Airport Freeway, Irving, TX 75062
  • Atlanta Metro, GA: 1287 Columbia Drive, Decatur, GA 30032

If your parents did not file taxes, they will simply indicate that on the FAFSA with “will not file” and answer any additional income questions.

The parent who you live with or supports you more than 50 percent of the time will need to include his or her information on the FAFSA. If that parent happens to be remarried, their spouse’s information will need to be included on the FAFSA as well.

Depending on the school, some of the financial aid documents can be transferred over from TWS. There is no risk or obligation from filling out these forms until you have sat in class and are officially attending TWS.

Yes, we do and we have a veteran’s coordinator here on campus to assist you in applying for these benefits. Benefits are available to those who qualify.

Some scholarship awards are a few hundred dollars and others cover the total cost of tuition.

While the specific career trajectory of a pipefitter may vary depending on location and other factors, it is possible to get a general idea of how long it might take to become a professional pipefitter.

It’s important to know that there are different levels of professional advancement within this career, such as apprentice, journeyman and master pipefitter.

Pipefitter Career Path
Here is a general breakdown of the possible career path for a pipefitter:

Step 1: Pipefitting Training
Pipefitting training programs at vocational schools can be completed in less than 10 months and can offer instruction in some of the welding processes needed for pipefitting.

Step 2: Apprenticeship Pipefitting Training
Paid apprenticeships typically last around 2,000 hours, which is around 4-5 years.

Step 3: Journeyman Pipefitter
After completing an apprenticeship and passing a journeyman exam, journey-level workers are qualified to perform their tasks independently.

Step 4: Master Pipefitter
After working for a while as a journeyman pipefitter and passing a master exam, master pipefitters may be eligible for advanced licensing.

Step 5: Advanced Pipefitter Jobs
After achieving master-level status, some pipefitters may advance into higher roles, such as supervisor, project manager or business owner.

While different people may have different career aspirations, most people can probably expect to invest a few years of pipefitting training in order to become a professional pipefitter. Trade associations, unions, and businesses may sponsor some apprenticeships.
