Tuition & Financial Aid at CIAT
Planning ahead and applying for financial aid can be a daunting task. CIAT is here to help. We offer assistance in applying for scholarships, federal aid, private loans, and monthly payment plans to help you build an affordable and manageable education plan.
Federal Grants & Loans
CIAT offers Federal Pell, Stafford, and Plus loans. Get started by completing the FAFSA form to apply for federal financial aid.
Military Benefits
CIAT is approved to offer military benefits for veterans and active duty service members, and spouses.
Private Loans
CIAT’s trusted private loan partners support students with affordable monthly payments or 100% deferred payments until after graduation for those who qualify.
Monthly Payment Plans
From zero-interest monthly payment plans to extended financing support, CIAT’s in-house financing plans help make sure you’re covered to pursue your goals.
Financial Aid
Our Financial Aid Office is committed to providing assistance to qualified students who would otherwise be unable to pursue the attainment of their educational and professional goals. To begin your application process, first complete the government’s FAFSA form at fafsa.gov. Our school code is 042598. You’ll need this and financial documents, like tax returns and pay stubs, to complete the application. You must re-apply for FAFSA for every year.
Cal Grant
Cal Grants are for students who are pursuing an undergraduate degree or vocational or career training, and do not have to be repaid. Cal Grant applicants must apply using the FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application by the deadline and meet all eligibility, financial, and minimum GPA requirements of either program. Grants are for students attending Universities of California, California State Universities or California Community Colleges, or qualifying independent and career colleges or technical schools in California.
Military Benefits
After their service, many veterans choose to move into the field of IT. The GI Bill® can be used not only for an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree within information technology, but it can also be used for many of the invaluable certifications required. In fact, due to DoD 8570.01, a Department of Defense directive requiring information assurance personnel to be certified, IT certification can be mandatory for most DoD related positions.
Scholarships
In addition to CIAT-offered scholarships, you will have access to a database where you can research different outside scholarships that have been made known to CIAT through other students, organizations, and businesses. You are free to apply to as many of these scholarships as you’d like. Just make sure you report any outside scholarships you receive to the Student Financial Services Office so we can apply it to your package.
Private Loans
When scholarships and federal financial aid aren’t enough, private loan help you cover any remaining personal investment balances. CIAT offers Sallie Mae to support the needs of students with a wide range of credit backgrounds and financial history.
Questions?
Don’t struggle alone. Our Admissions Team will be happy to set up a complimentary financial aid consultation to find the financing option that’s right for you.
