Financial Aid for PCI Education
Your finances shouldn't stand between you and a better career. PCI's financial aid team helps you explore grants, loans, and scholarships — including federal Title IV programs like the Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Direct Stafford & PLUS Loans. Visit studentaid.gov for full program details.
Ready to Apply?
Complete the FAFSA and list PCI's school code, 010405, so your results come straight to us. Once we receive it, our financial aid team will reach out to walk through your award package. If your circumstances have changed since your tax filing (income change, loss of benefits, a parent's death, etc.), let your advisor know — we can request a professional judgment review.

Not eligible for federal aid? You may still qualify for non-federal aid through state or private sources, or scholarships based on academics, ethnicity, or military service.
FAFSA Deadlines
All-Inclusive Tuition
Every program's tuition already includes textbooks and fees — one flat rate that won't increase as long as you're continuously enrolled and do not retake any classes.
