Tuition and Financial Aid

Because of excellent career placement and The Culinary Institute of America’s standing in the industry, you might think that a CIA education costs more. In fact, our program costs are comparable to those of other leading culinary colleges. What's more, financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, and Work-Study opportunities is available to AWBP students who qualify.

We strongly encourage you to apply for aid—please do not assume you won't qualify. Our experienced financial aid professionals are available to guide you through the process and help you explore all of your financing options. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office at 707-967-2510 or financialaid@culinary.edu.
