Tuition comparison
A fraction of what traditional programs charge.
Traditional 2-year MRI programs typically cost $30,000–$60,000 — often on top of an X-ray prerequisite credential. Tesla MR gets you to ARMRIT certification directly, at a fraction of the price.
Traditional program $30–60k
Tesla MR $11,000

Pricing FAQ
Common questions about tuition
Still have questions? Email info@teslamr.com or talk to an admissions counselor.
Is the $1,500 deposit refundable?
The deposit secures your seat in a cohort. Once your cohort begins and you have access to the curriculum, the deposit is non-refundable. If you need to defer before your cohort start, talk to our admissions team — we handle these case-by-case.
Can my employer or clinical site pay for my tuition?
Yes. Many clinical sites sponsor tuition for technologist aides they want to certify. We offer special pricing for employer-sponsored students and can invoice your employer directly. Email info@teslamr.com and we will send a tuition-sponsorship packet.
Are there scholarships or discounts available?
A $500 discount is available for students enrolling with approval to train at a clinical site. We also run periodic scholarships — visit the /scholarship page for current openings. Employer-sponsored students qualify for additional pricing.
Do you offer federal financial aid or FAFSA?
Tesla MR is a non-Title-IV program, so FAFSA does not apply. That is deliberate — it is how we keep tuition around $11,000 instead of the $60,000+ you would pay at a Title-IV school. Our quarterly and monthly plans exist to fill the gap federal aid normally would.
What does the tuition actually cover?
Tuition covers the full ARMRIT-accredited curriculum (Phase I and Phase II), clinical-site placement support, registry exam preparation, and instructor access for the full 18 months. You pay for the ARMRIT registry exam separately when you sit for it.
How does tuition compare to traditional programs?
Traditional 2-year MRI programs typically cost $30,000–$60,000 plus prerequisite X-ray coursework. Tesla MR graduates report an average salary increase of $28,000 — the program typically pays for itself within the first year of working as a certified technologist.
