Cost of attendance is based on several factors such as your dependency status, enrollment status, and state residency and includes tuition and fees, food and housing, books, course materials, supplies and equipment, transportation, and other personal costs. 

Pursuing an education at College of Western Idaho (CWI) is an investment in yourself and your future.
