You may not have realized this, but you posted your question in the global Canvas Community website. We can help answer questions about the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System), but we cannot help to answer questions about financial aid. This would be a question you'd need to go back to folks at The Chicago School about. I navigated to their website, and I found the following page which might have some helpful information for you:
Financial Aid | The Chicago School
Hopefully you'll be able to connect with someone soon regarding your questions about financial aid. I hope this helps a bit!
