Eligibility for Payment from Federal or State Agencies, Loans, Grants, or Scholarships

The concept behind most financial aid programs is that the student and his/her parent(s) and/or spouse, have the primary obligation to pay for the student’s education. The student is expected to use his/her own savings and accept employment to assist in meeting his/her educational expenses. The amount of financial aid a student may receive is mostly based on the extent of his/her financial need. Need is determined by an examination of the financial resources of the student and his/her family. In addition to need-based financial aid, CSI also offers some merit-based scholarships to eligible students. Please note: The content in the Financial Aid & Scholarships section of the catalog is subject to change based on federal, state, and school regulations and policies.
