Financial Assistance

P.L.A.T.O.® Loan Program

The P.L.A.T.O.® program is a private, credit based loan program offered through commercial lending institutions to students enrolled in accredited universities and colleges.  The loans have a number of advantages including competitive interest rates and low monthly payments.  Borrowers or their co-signers are required to have a reasonably good credit standing.  

For more information, call PLATO: 800-244-8750 , or visit their web site at www.plato.org.  

Veterans Administration

This program is approved for assistance under the Veteran's Assistance Job Training Program.  Veterans should contact the Veteran's Administration at 1-800-827-1000 to confirm their eligibility for benefits and an estimate of the amount of assistance they might receive.  If eligible, veterans should fill out an Application for Veteran's Benefits (Form 22-1990) in BRCC's Admissions and Records Office in the Houff Student Center.

Typically, approximately one half of the tuition cost will be reimbursed by the V.A.  Veterans are responsible for the tuition payment upon enrolling in the course.  After the course is completed, veterans will be reimbursed according to their level of eligibility.

Virginia Workforce Centers

Displaced workers and those with very low incomes may also be eligible for training assistance benefits provided through a regional Workforce Center.
