How Much Time And Money Will I Invest?

You're responsible for tuition, supplies and housing. However, you'll be paying in-state tuition even if you enroll outside of your state of residence. This is a huge perk that not many programs offer.

Yes, you can get financial aid if you apply and qualify for it. Some dealerships offer scholarships, so be sure to ask your Cat dealer what’s available.

Housing will depend on which college you choose to attend. Keep in mind that some colleges require on-campus housing.

A high school diploma or equivalent gets you halfway there. After that, you’ll complete an application process with the college and your sponsoring Cat dealer. Requirements vary by program and college. Ask the sponsoring Cat dealer for specifics.
