How much can I borrow? What are the payments? What is the interest?
You can borrow to pay for everything on your enrollment agreement. Minimum of $3,500 / Maximum of 7,500. Payments typically between $115 and 195 per month, depending on amount and term.
What’s this I hear about training reimbursement?
Great question! Many employers near you offer up to 100% of your loan in monthly reimbursement and bonuses. This is huge! In other words – paying for your CDLA loan can be zero dollars out-of-pocket. Ask your school placement officer how this works.
What’s better, using my credit card or a loan?

Does applying affect my credit score?
