To gauge a more realistic picture of what it really could cost you out of pocket to go to Cleveland Institute of Art, we've modeled a ten year student loan with an original principal value of $133,580. The loan balance of $133,580 is a four year multiple of the $33,395 average net price. This is a estimate of what you could owe upon graduation if you were to qualify for average financial aid and what a degree really may cost. Should you not qualify for financial aid, you may owe significantly more when you graduate. Based on these assumptions, a monthly repayment of $1,519 could be required to pay off your student loan. The total of all payments including interest would sum $182,257.64.
