Financial Aid

Blue Cliff College offers an affordable way to an outstanding education. But, we know that despite trying our best to keep tuition costs down, not everybody is capable of paying for their educational pursuits out-of-pocket. For some, financial aid and other forms of tuition assistance are needed.

At Blue Cliff, our financial aid staff is fully committed to helping every student obtain the financial assistance that works best for them. Whether you are able to pay for your program in cash or you need to apply for student grants, loans or other financial aid resources, we are here to help you through the entire process.

Blue Cliff College also offers flexible financing plans to those students who qualify. Financial plans vary, depending on the length of the program being financed and the amount of the student’s initial down payment.

Tuition and fees in effect at Blue Cliff College for veterans are available through the catalog; please see page 20. Please be advised that rates are subject to change. To confirm the catalog rate, please contact your local campus.

Blue Cliff College does not offer on-campus housing, and students may incur a $0 estimated rate for room and board.
