Net Price Calculator - Palomar Institute of Cosmetology

Welcome

Welcome to Palomar Institute of Cosmetology’s Net Price Calculator. This tool provides an estimate of how much students similar to you paid to attend in .

Beginning with the 2024–2025 award year, Federal Student Aid uses the Student Aid Index (SAI) instead of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This calculator uses your answers to estimate aid based on SAI bands; you do not need to know or enter your SAI.

The estimate provided by this calculator does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance, or a final net price. It is based on the cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a prior year. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. The estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.

Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, visit studentaid.gov.

Note: Any information that you provide on this site is confidential. The Net Price Calculator does not store your responses or ask for personal identifying information.

Estimated Net Price

Please Note: The estimates above apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. Please realize that the estimated costs for room and board and other expenses are not additional costs you will incur if you attend school. Whether you attend school or not, you will have such expenses and they vary from person to person depending on lifestyle and choices. These estimates are used only as a basis to calculate financial aid eligibility in an equitable way.

These estimates do not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance or a final net price; they are only estimates based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in 2024-25. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. These estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.

Not all students receive financial aid. In 2024-25, approximately 52% of our full-time students enrolling for college for the first time received grant/scholarship aid. Students may also be eligible for student loans and work-study. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine their eligibility for Federal financial aid that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance.

This Cost of Attendance was based on the 2024-2025 Award Year and included two components:

Component #1 - Tuition/Fees and Books/Supplies would be paid directly to the institution.
Component #2 - The institution continuously adopts the Student Expense Budget from the California Student Aid Commission for the cost of Housing, Transportation, Food and Miscellaneous Expenses which will be used for calculation of the Cost of Attendance only.
