DCI Career Institute contracts with numerous agencies for financial aid assistance. Qualified students may be eligible for program funding through Career Link, Job Service, Vocational Rehabilitation, programs for Veterans and/or various labor organizations. Many of these sources provide 100% of costs. Other agency funding sources may also be available. The school also participates in the Federal Pell Grant Program and the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) which encompasses the following programs:

Federal Pell Grant Program
Need-based grants (gift aid) to students are awarded by the federal government to those who qualify.

Federal Stafford Loan
Low interest loans to students are made by participating financial institutions (banks, credit unions and SL's), ensured by guaranty agencies and the federal government. Please make an appointment with the Director of Financial Planning for more information.

Federal PLUS Loan
FPLUS loans are loans to parents to help pay for their dependent children's educational expenses, made by a financial institution.

The application process for all financial aid requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A completed and submitted FAFSA results in a Federal Student Aid Report (SAR/SIR), which is the basis for determining most financial aid eligibility.

All loans, regardless of source, must be repaid pursuant to applicable regulations.
