Real costs. Real scholarships.
Every STEMCAT program has a real cost, and we publish exactly what a seat costs. Scholarships from donors, grants, employers and sponsors are available to help cover it.
Questions about cost? Call (239) 666-8171 — that is a conversation to have with us, not a reason to stay out.
Know what a seat costs and who covers it.
What a seat costs
$4,570 per seat and $6,670 per completer. That covers instruction, hands-on technical training, certification exam attempts, equipment and participant supports. Itemized on request.
Who pays for it
Scholarships funded by donors, grants, employers and sponsors cover all or part of a seat. Students and families apply — we help with the paperwork.
Third-party funding
Eligible adults may have a seat covered through CareerSource Southwest Florida under WIOA, an employer sponsorship, or a scholarship. Ask us which options fit you before you decide.
A cost you cannot name is a cost nobody can cover.
The people who cover a seat — a family, a donor, an employer or a sponsor — deserve to know exactly what they are paying for.
Scholarships are awarded before the program starts, so you know your cost up front. No surprises.
