Understand your cost before you decide
Choosing massage school is a meaningful investment. CalCopa publishes program costs so prospective students can review tuition before making a decision. Financial aid may be available for those who qualify, and admissions can help you understand the next steps for FAFSA, Pell Grant, VA benefits, payment options, and estimated out-of-pocket costs.
Program cost overview
CalCopa publishes program costs so students can compare training options before applying. Costs may vary by program length, required materials, textbooks, fees, and enrollment requirements. Before enrolling, admissions can help you review the current program cost and understand what is included.
What tuition includes
Tuition may include classroom instruction, hands-on training, clinic experience, and required program components. Some items, such as textbooks, supplies, application fees, certification-related fees, or outside testing/application costs, may be separate. Students should confirm the current total cost with admissions before enrolling.
Financial aid options
Financial aid may be available for students who qualify. Depending on eligibility, students may explore FAFSA-related aid, Pell Grant, federal student aid options, VA/GI Bill® benefits, or other available resources. CalCopa can help point students to the appropriate application steps and resources.
Payment support
Not every student’s financial situation is the same. If you are unsure how much you may need to pay out of pocket, admissions or financial aid staff can help you review available options and next steps. The goal is to help you understand cost before you commit.
What to prepare before applying
Before applying for aid or enrollment, it may help to gather basic personal identification, tax or income information, school records if needed, and any military benefit documentation if applicable. Requirements can vary depending on the type of aid or benefit you are exploring.
Talk to financial aid / schedule a tour
Questions about cost are normal. Before you apply, you can schedule a tour or request information to ask about tuition, aid eligibility, payment options, start dates, and program requirements. This is a good first step if you are still comparing schools or deciding whether massage therapy training fits your goals.
