Financial Aid at City Vision College

At City Vision College, we are commited to helping students earn their bachelor's degrees without amassing a burden of debt.  To accomplish this, there are several ways to gain assistance to fund your studies! 

Federal Student Aid/Pell Grants - City Vision College has been approved by the US Dept of Education to participate in Title IV federal student aid programs for those in our degree programs.  For U.S. citizens who qualify, the current maximum Pell grant covers the entire cost of tuition for a full-time student (30 credit hours in a calendar year). We do not participate in the federal loan programs. To apply for a Pell grant, go to the Federal Student Aid Procedures page.

Private Loans - While we do not participate in the federal student loan programs, some students may be eligible for private programs.  See a list of available private student loan programs.

Payment Plans - In certain circumstances, students may arrange a payment plan with the business office.  Normally, this involves paying half of tuition at the beginning of the term and, then, paying the second half in the middle of the term. Contact the college for more information.

Internship Program -  We have a network of over thirty urban missions throughout North America that host student interns. During their time of service and learning, these ministries provide housing and meals free of charge and pay for students' City Vision College tuition for up to one year. Follow this link to learn more about the Internship Program.

Veteran's Educational Benefits -  The degree program is approved for educational assistance benefits for qualified veterans and their dependents under programs administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
