Tuition and Fee's

Incoming student tuition is based on Levels of Support. Through the application, interview and assessment process an appropriate level is determined.


Levels of Support

The College Internship Program has expanded its services with the introduction of Levels of Support. Students progress through the appropriate levels receiving the best services possible while moving toward completion of a degree at a local college or university, building a career, and learning to live independently.

Advantages

  • Enter at the most appropriate level
  • Progress toward career and living independence
  • Enjoy campus life living at a nearby college or university
  • Retain a familiar support system

Entry levels 1 - 4 range from $39,900 to $71,900 (not including room + board, college classes and/or vocational courses).


Continuum of Support

Once a student progresses through the 4 entry Levels of Support, he/she has the option to attend levels 5 and 6, also known as the Continuum of Support levels. Continuum levels offer more independence such as off-campus living while still retaining key supports needed for the transition to a degree at college or finding employment.

Tuition on levels 5 and 6 range from $16,000 to $26,900.

Regional Center Funding (CA Regional Center Clients)

Tax Deductibility

In accordance with IRS Regulation 1.213-1(e)(1)(v)(a) a medical deduction is allowed for the cost of tuition when a school meets the definition of a "special school for physically or mentally handicapped individuals. The definition of a "special school" is a school where the primary purpose of the school is to enable students to compensate for handicaps in order to prepare them for future normal education and/or normal living.

The program at The College Internship Program meets this definition, as its primary goal is to assist students in earning a degree in college and with developing skills necessary for employment and living independently in the community. Applicants considering deducting the College Internship Program's tuition on their federal income tax returns should consult with a tax advisor on this matter.


Social Security Income

Program costs may be partially defrayed through S.S.I. payments that some students are eligible for. We encourage students to apply for these prior to admission.


Insurance Reimbursements

The College Internship Program, upon request, will provide a statement of clinical sessions to submit to insurance company for reimbursement.
