College Financing Plan

The College Financing Plan is a standardized financial aid disclosure developed by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to help students and families easily understand and compare the costs of attending college. The College Financing Plan provides a clear overview of estimated educational costs, available grants and scholarships, net costs, borrowing options, and other important consumer information in a consistent format across institutions.

Principles of Excellence Program

As a participant in the Principles of Excellence Program, CIA provides the College Financing Plan to students who are eligible for veterans' education benefits. The Plan is also available to other admitted and enrolled students as a helpful tool for understanding their financial aid offer and estimated educational expenses.

College Financing Plan through the Financial Aid Student Portal

Students may access their College Financing Plan through the Financial Aid Student Portal, where it can be viewed alongside their financial aid offer and related award information. The Plan is intended to help students make informed decisions about financing their education and comparing educational costs and aid options from different institutions.
