Cost of Attendance (COA)
& College Financing Plan (CFP)
If you are a student at OTC, a College Financing Plan (CFP) is available to you in MyOTC—regardless of whether you file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The CFP (formerly known as the Shopping Sheet) provides a standardized overview of your estimated college costs and available financial aid, helping you make informed decisions and compare institutions more easily.
The Financial Aid Office also provides a Cost of Attendance (COA), which outlines the estimated annual cost of attending college. This includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Your COA is based on your residency status and, if applicable, information from your FAFSA.
You can also compare OTC with other institutions in terms of cost, graduation rates, and retention by visiting College Scorecard and College Navigator.
If you have questions about your Financial Aid Package, please contact our office at Veterans@otc.edu.
