For most students, figuring out how to pay for college is one of the most difficult parts of earning a degree. Use our tips, tools, and guidelines to stay up to date on the best ways to achieve your academic goals.
Tuition and Fees
It only makes sense to find the best quality education at the most affordable price. Cisco College strives to provide what you need at a price you can afford. You will find that your college bill is one-third of what it would be at a major state university and thousands of dollars less than private institutions.

Financial Aid
Cisco College has a comprehensive program of grants, work programs, loan programs, and scholarships to assist eligible students with the cost of their education. Each financial aid program which the college administers has terms and conditions to insure that the aid is awarded to those that qualify.
In virtually all circumstances, federal, state, and local directives require that the recipient have a documented financial need. To determine the need for financial assistance Cisco College uses the student's estimated cost of attendance and the result of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Tax Information
Each January, eligible students will be sent a 1098-T form. The 1098-T is a record of the information that Cisco College has reported to the IRS on a student's behalf. The 1098-T form is provided as required by the IRS to eligible students in late January to help them determine if they qualify for an American Opportunity Tax Credit or a Lifetime Learning Credit.
To access your 1098T take the following steps:
- Visit 1098tforms.com to OPT-IN for electronic delivery of the 1098-T Form.
- Click the “TO STUDENT ENROLLMENT PAGE” button and follow the subsequent instructions to OPT-IN for electronic delivery.
- If you experience consistent errors, or cannot complete the OPT-IN process:
- Close the browser and clear the Cache on their device. Restarting the device is preferred.
- Start the OPT-IN process again. Start at the “TO STUDENT ENROLLMENT PAGE” button, and use a different Username than the first Username.
