I am a VRRAP program Veteran. I have nothing but trouble with getting "stipends" due to me from this school. I have had to call the financial aid dept. and haggle with them at each disbursement period ( thats when you can find out when that even is) and just this last time 8/31/2022, they did not give me my money at all. The fed deposited the money on 8/17/2022, the financial aid staff claims they didn't get the deposit until 8/20/2022. They also regularly tell you that it takes two weeks to process the payout.... Read More Well the payout got to take longer and now I didn't get one. They always have an excuse for the unprofessionalism in this matter. The Veterans Administration pays them my tuition fees, they KNOW this, but always claim because I get VRRAP it somehow sends my file into a vortex of ignorance. The FAFSA is an entirely different animal than VRRAP so I don't buy the excuse for not giving me my money. I am constantly late on bills now since I started at this school. I am virtually always on the edge of eviction when I can't discern when I will get any money ( the intended use of the money is ironically to pay said bills so I can do my studies). I suffer from PTSD so this situation has me in a constant state of high stress. It is damaging. I pay high late fees almost every bill cycle now on top of it. They absolutely refuse to be transparent about an accurate date when stipends are payed out, it is completely inconsistent. They are a seemingly very greedy institution that treats VRRAP veterans like potential deadbeats and I am not good with that. They claim they "hold your financial loans and Pell money against your tuition" so this is how you get slow walked at payout time. I have been pretty much told because I am a VRRAP Veteran that I am on the second class student status. The VA has paid them $13,000 in one chunk already and I am not halfway thru yet. They pay them again at the halfway mark and then when I am done. They know this but infer that the VA isn't going to pay them. All this worry about their money but about 5 percent concern with the Veteran getting monies due. This is not an isolated incident as I have noted in recent BBB and Consumer reports. And so nobody can say I am lacking on my end in any way I would add that I am a straight 'A' student with a 4.0 grade average. I have been on their presidents list consistently now. Unfortunately for me, I may have to quit after all the time, money and hard work invested into this because I have to find a dead end job to survive. The whole purpose of this VRRAP was to stifle this problem while quietly in the background this situation is actively being caused to become overwhelmingly worse by the unprofessional actions of their school finance system. The sad part is there is no reason for this. Everybody is GETTING PAID everyone but ME of course. If anything, I hope that if this entry does not get them to fix this quagmire, that at least other Veterans may see this and decide to attend a school elsewhere. On an up note, the Instructors at CTU appear to be great people who bend over backwards to help their students and go above and beyond to motivate students to get the best scores and learn the curriculum as possible. My problem isn't with the teachers, it's with the bean counters. Thank you for your time.
