Tuition
Payment Options
Radio1 Broadcast School’s tuition is by far the lowest in the nation: $6,900. We want a quality broadcast education to be affordable for everyone. We have not increased our tuition in over 14 years!
Most of our students pay tuition one of two ways: with a bank loan or with a credit card.
Bank loan
Work with your local financial institution, with whom you already have a relationship. You may be able to obtain a consumer loan to cover the tuition cost. If your loan officer needs anything from us, please have them call Radio 1 at 1-800-889-2221.
Credit Card
We accept VISA and MasterCard cards for payment of part or all of the tuition cost. Take advantage of zero or low interest card offers and balance transfer deals. You can shop, compare, and apply for cards on www.creditcards.com.
VA/GI Bill Benefits
If you are a past active duty member, or are on the GI Bill program, you may be eligible for a tuition benefit to attend Radio1 Broadcast School. If eligible, full tuition may be paid with your benefits! Processing of your application for benefits may take from 6-12 weeks — plan ahead so your benefits are ready to go when you are! Forward Radio 1 a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility (#221990) once you receive it so that we can process your enrollment.
Please call the VA Education phone number, 1-888-442-4551, to find out what your current status of eligibility is and what tuition benefits may be available to you. You can also check out the VA Education website: www.gibill.va.gov.
