Available financial assistance:

Oklahoma Horseshoeing School Tuition In-House Loan – These are loans funded directly by Oklahoma Horseshoeing School for individuals who demonstrate an excellent credit history, along with a co-borrower (a non-spouse family member) who also has excellent credit. These loans are available only for the 8-week and 12-week courses

Oklahoma Horseshoeing School Tuition Assistance Loans are loans funded by Oklahoma Horseshoeing School for individuals who have an excellent credit rating and a co-borrower (non-spouse family member) who has an excellent credit rating. These loans are applicable only for the Professional or Advanced (8 or 12 week) courses containing horseshoeing.

WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) – This program is designed to support workforce development through area-specific strategies. It involves analyzing the local labor market to identify high-demand occupations and industries. That information is then used to implement workforce initiatives, including training opportunities, to help close skill gaps within the existing workforce.

WIA (Workforce Investment Act) – was developed for certain unemployed or underemployed individuals. The WIA office may or may not be associated with your local unemployment office. These WIA funds are administered on a state by state basis. The rules will be different for each state. WIA offices tend to want to send students to school which are on their “Demand Occupation” list. Horseshoeing will probably not be on that list, BUT they WILL fund your education if you are persistent. Remember, those WIA funds are federal funds for YOU, and not for some perceived purpose of your local WIA office. You may have to show that there is a “demand” meaning that there are many horses and not enough Farriers in your area, but if you are persistent they may very well fund your education at Oklahoma Horseshoeing School.

Bureau of Indian Affairs – The BIA offers educational assistance to Native Americans, though the level of funding and policies vary by tribe. Funding may be available, but applicants often need to be persistent and proactive in working with their tribal office to secure support. For details, contact your tribe directly

Bureau of Indian Affairs – The BIA is a program for Native Americans. However, each tribe has different levels of funding and each tribe has different policies. If they have money for education you can get it, but you may have to be persistent and work hard to extract the funding from the main tribal office. For more information contact your tribe.

Local Bank – If the previously listed options are not suitable, your local bank may be a good alternative. A bank you have an established relationship with may be more inclined to offer a loan, although their requirements may be stricter than other sources. Their familiarity with your financial history can help speed up the approval process

Local Bank – Your local bank might be your best bet if none of the previous situations apply to you. Your local bank knows you best and you have been doing business there for a long time. They may have stricter requirements than other financial institutions, but they already know you and they can quickly determine if they will lend you the money or not.

Scholarships Accepted – Oklahoma Horseshoeing School accepts scholarships from external sources. If you have received a scholarship from an organization, employer, tribe, or other entity, you may use those funds toward your tuition. Be sure to coordinate with the school’s financial office to ensure proper documentation and timely application of your scholarship.
