Can I work and study at ITP? Is it feasible to work while in a full-time program?
Yes, there are some work positions available at ITP through the Federal Work Study program. It is possible to work while studying in a full-time program. Most students have part-time jobs, and work during the evenings and weekends. Our part-time programs were designed for those wanting to work on a more full-time basis. Please contact an admissions counselor for more information regarding programs that will meet your needs.

How long will it take to process an application for financial aid?
The processing of financial aid can be completed within three weeks, if students complete their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid) online. You may apply to fafsa.ed.gov. Otherwise the application process takes about four to five weeks. Applicants are encouraged to apply for financial aid during the admissions process, rather than waiting until they have been admitted into a program. The sooner you apply, the sooner you will know what your award will be. Yyour funds will not arrive until you need to register for the program. Contact the ITP Director of Financial Aid, Josie Melton, at (650) 493-4430, ext. 241 or jmelton@itp.edu if you have any questions.
