In-House Monthly Payment Plans

From zero-interest monthly payment plans to extended financing support, CIAT’s in-house financing plans help make sure you’re covered to pursue your goals. After you’ve exhausted your options for federal financial aid, private loans, and scholarships, CIAT flexible monthly payment plans provide easy and affordable payment options to ensure every student has a path to start their education plan. During your enrollment, your personal Financial Aid Advisor will prepare you options for payment plans based on your program selection.

Flexible Payment Options:

  • Interest Rates: 0% - 9%
  • Zero-Interest Payment Plans: Pay off your tuition balances while you’re taking classes. If you pay your balance by graduation, you’ll pay zero interest, saving overall costs on your educational investment.
  • Extended Payment Options: When you need lower payments or extensions past graduation, our in-house payment plans help you manage your budget with a low 9% interest rate. Save 1% when you sign up for automated monthly payments.

The interest rate on these plans is capped at 9%, and you can save an additional 1% by signing up for automatic payments.
