Making Education Affordable
At Ranken, we believe that providing our students a more affordable education is integral to helping them experience success. Thanks to Ranken's Endowment Fund and Development program, all students enjoy a lower tuition rate compared to similar private educational institutions.
In addition, Ranken Technical College offers a variety of financial aid and scholarship options to cover full or partial payment of tuition and/or books, supplies and tools. Approximately 80 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. Ranken makes every effort to assist all students in meeting their financial obligations through:
Government grant and loan programs
Part-time employment, loans and scholarships through Ranken
Students who are interested in receiving financial aid can start the process by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid that is available through the Financial Aid office.
