Heritage College & Institute Financial Aid

Here's what recent graduates are saying about their experiences at Heritage.

Jessica Reid, PFT Graduate — "The instructors and staff were incredibly supportive and so helpful. The Career Services staff really helped me find an amazing internship site and then assisted me with my resume and applying for jobs. I was so busy working, being a single parent of a teenager, and finishing school that I barely had time to apply for jobs. But the Career Services team showed me where to apply and how to be strategic in my applications. This really relieved my stress and made me realize that I was truly not alone. They instilled confidence in me that helped me in my interview and I got an incredible job making triple the amount of money that I was making before I came to Heritage."

Ashely Herring, PFT Graduate — "After I graduated, I was hired at Snap Fitness (this is also where I completed my internship). Soon afterwards, the gym entered into a local “Biggest Loser” weight-loss completion with a local television station. I was selected as one of the head trainers. This was a dream come true for me and an opportunity of a lifetime. For 13 weeks I worked with five of the most dedicated and hard working individuals I have ever met. This experience has taught me some valuable lessons that I will carry with me into the future."

Kyle Cholka, MSG Graduate — "When I looked at the programs that Heritage offered I was excited to see that they offered massage. Considering my passion to help people get better and my parents letting me know that I have great hands, it sounded like the perfect career. After I graduated I decide to open my own business and have now contracted myself out. I also am part of the Heritage Advisory Board for Massage Therapy."

Johnetta Garrett, MSG Graduate — "I enjoy being able to help clients with various ailments, enabling them to feel better and have an improved quality of life."

Shannon McCoy, Pharm Graduate — "I can’t quite believe the amount of responsibility I am entrusted with at the pharmacy. My in-depth knowledge of medication enables me to make a real contribution to the process of maintaining and improving people’s health. I love working in the medical field."

Wendi Hull, COS Graduate — "Before I started at Heritage, I had never completed anything in my life. I dropped out of high school and married a man who abused me and left me with nothing. I was hospitalized with severe depression. With the encouragement of the teachers and staff at Heritage, I was able to stay the course and graduate. Now I have a rewarding career working with a wonderful group of supportive people."

Terry Garrett, MSG Graduate — "I've been hired to design a new spa for a new resort hotel. After the spa is built, I will stay on to manage it. The investors are spending millions on this project. They plan to franchise their resort concept and have me manage all the spas. My career is expanding faster than I ever would have imagined!"

Christian Nwambo, MA Graduate — "The training I acquired at Heritage really prepared me well. With the knowledge I acquired I can safely say that I am a proud member of an honorable medical profession."

Kim Shalberg, MSG Graduate — "I love going to work each day! I'm making more money on this one job than I did on all three jobs I had before completing massage therapy. I also have more time to spend with my family and that makes me very happy!"

Lena Powell, MA Graduate — "I was pregnant when I started school but was determined to finish. The teacher was very supportive and encouraging. I had two job offers at the end of my training and would strongly recommend Heritage College to others."

Mark L. King, MSG Graduate — "I love helping people to get more in tune with their dietary needs and to learn stretching exercises that will improve their muscle health and body tone. The scheduling flexibility of my job allows me to spend more time outdoors and with my family."

Joyette York, MSG Graduate — "Since graduating from Heritage, I have begun to work on my own doing house visits. I am enjoying every minute of my work. My clients are great. I have had the opportunity to work on several prominent figures in our community. I am so glad that I attended Heritage. I know my life will truly be filled with wonderful opportunities thanks to Heritage."

Jessika Dziewik, MSG Graduate — "I became a mother at a very young age and needed a way to change paths. College was a real struggle for me, but the teachers and staff at Heritage somehow kept me moving forward. Now I have a job I love and a destiny under my own control."
