The San Diego Culinary Institute administers a variety of financial assistance programs in cooperation with other agencies, which range interest free financing, third-party scholarships, and unsecured student loans for those who qualify. You may qualify for one among this selection of programs to help you make your dreams into a reality.
Military Welcome
Many among the active military as well as Veterans qualify for VA benefits, benefits to military spouses and dependents, and vocational rehab programs. Speak with our Community Affairs counselor for more information.
Vocational Rehab
Many people have rehabilitated themselves and found new careers at SDCI through voc rehab programs. If this is your situation, contact us for more information.
Low Interest Loans
Many students take advantage of SDCI’s interest-free payments option. You may prefer to work with one of the several lending institutions to fund your education. We’ll help you to find the best terms possible, with low interest loans and repayment terms that often allow you to start your payments after you graduate. The monthly payments on these loans are low and are easily repaid on the current salary rates in our industry.
