Option 1 - Student Loans

Student Loans

If you would like to apply for a student loan (not affiliated with SLTC), one option is with SLM Financial Corporation. Apply by printing and completing the SLM Financial Application. Please fax or mail your completed application to Southeast Lineman Training Center. It takes 24 - 48 hours to process the application and a representative from SLM Financial will notify you of their credit decision.

Note: If your credit is less than ideal, you may still qualify for a loan by applying with a creditworthy cosigner. Please click here to see the cosigner checklist.

If you have any questions on how to fill out this application please print this sample copy.

Partners is a great option for students that desire to attend SLTC, but might have problems securing a loan with a conventional lender. Partners has a higher approval rating than most lenders and is SLTC newest option for student loans. Partners will finance tuition, books & certifications however, Partners does requires an initial down payment once financing is secured.

Please print and complete the Partners Loan Application and return it to Southeast Lineman Training Center.

Option 3 - Veterans Administration

Veterans Administration

Southeast Lineman Training Center can accept the GI Bill for training at SLTC. 

VA form 22-1990 

Please follow the step by step instructions to get started:  

1. Download and print the VA Form 22-1990.

2. Complete the form and mail it to Southeast Lineman Training Center , 9481 Hwy. 11, Trenton GA 30752.

3. An SLTC VA representative will complete an additional form and mail both to the VA office in Atlanta , GA.

5. Veterans will receive a letter notifying them of the amount the VA will pay per month while enrolled in school. 

6. It will take approximately 8 weeks for the VA to verify forms and get the veteran in the system.

Our Electrical program is approximately 4 months in length and the VA can only pay a maximum amount per month.  Since the G.I. Bill does not cover the complete cost of the program veterans can take out a student loan if they need to.  The student loan documents are available on the top of this page.

The VA has another program called the Apprenticeship/On-the-job Training Program, which will pay veterans once veterans are employed in the line work industry. So, even though the VA will not pay for the complete training cost while veterans are actually attending school they will eventually pay veterans back.
