How to Pay for CDL Training

Commercial Driving Academy (CDA) helps students pay for truck driving school. The financial aid team works with students to find tuition assistance options. Some students qualify for grants that cover 100% of tuition costs. Many students pay zero out-of-pocket.

A CDL opens doors to job security and good pay. The trucking industry needs skilled drivers. CDA makes CDL training affordable so students can focus on learning.

Explore Tuition and Financing Options

Every student has different needs. CDA’s admissions team meets one-on-one with prospective students. They explain financial aid programs and help with applications. The goal is finding a way to pay for training that works.

Grants for CDL Training

Grants are funds students don’t have to repay. Federal, state, and private grants can cover part or all of tuition costs. Students who qualify can complete training with little to no debt.

CDA partners with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). This program provides job training funding for eligible students. CDA also works with Vocational Rehabilitation programs and Goodwill. Student counselors help determine eligibility and guide students through applications.

Local Tribe Funding

Tribal members in Oklahoma City may qualify for educational funding through their tribal council. These programs often require a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) number. Approval is usually fast. CDA works with tribal offices to secure funding.

Carrier-Sponsored Tuition Reimbursement

CDA’s job placement team connects students with trucking companies. Many carriers offer tuition reimbursement programs, each with their own terms of repayment. Students get paid back for training costs through monthly payments after starting work.

Payment Plans and Financing

Students who don’t qualify for other assistance can use financing or payment plans. CDA works with trusted financing partners. Payment plans offer low or zero upfront costs. The admissions team sets up schedules that fit student budgets.

Combining Multiple Payment Options

Students often combine funding sources. A partial grant can work with a self-pay plan or loan. CDA creates customized financial plans to make training affordable.
