Financial Aid Option 1: Computer Professionals Loan

• With this option, you are required to pay between $2,000 - $9,000 when you arrive on campus.

The amount you pay at registration is based on your academic background (your GPA and level and amount of Computer Science courses you have taken), recommendations, English fluency, and prior work experience. A high GRE score (particularly in the quantitative section) may help you to receive a higher level of financial aid. However GRE is not required for admission to the program.

• Your remaining expenses are paid through the Computer Professionals Loan.

This loan is taken out after you are placed in a practical training job. No co-signer is required. The loan is repaid from your earnings while you are employed as a student. The average starting salary of our students for practical training jobs is currently $55,000 per year.
