Cost Overview
Most families pay the full $18,922 annual cost at California College of Music since only 7% of students receive financial aid. This makes it one of the few colleges where the sticker price of $18,830 in tuition matches what students actually pay. Over two years, families should budget about $38,000 for this music conservatory experience.
The school does offer institutional grants to 86% of students, averaging $7,515 per recipient, but the net price stays high because it's a for-profit institution with just 7 students total. Only 14% of students take federal loans, which is unusually low compared to most colleges. Students who do get the institutional grant pay around $11,400 annually instead of the full amount.
The best financial deal goes to the rare student who qualifies for both institutional aid and federal grants. Everyone else pays nearly full price for this specialized contemporary music training in Pasadena.
