When you commit to making a big career change, the last thing you want to worry about is the cost of the program. Afterall, you need money to invest in yourself.

Our financing options are designed with every student in mind. There are three primary options to choose from;

Pay upfront: Pay in full, pay upfront, save big - Pay your full tuition upfront and receive up to a $1,000 discount on your tuition. A big investment upfront pays off long term.

Pay with a loan: Low interest loan * - Apply for a loan that covers 100% of tuition costs (less deposit of $500) with our U.S government loan partner, Sallie Mae or our third party partner Meritrize. Sallie Mae offers students flexible and low interest loan options including deferred repayment options beginning 3 months post-graduation. A soft credit check is required and seeing if you qualify only takes 3-5 minutes. For qualified candidates, a cosigner may be required. Exploring your loan options will not impact your credit score.

Pay in Installment: Affordable payment plans are available. Don’t want to pay all at once, but are able to make payments while enrolled? Apply for an installment plan. These plans vary by program and student financial need, carry 0% interest, do not affect your credit score, and are paid before the end of your program graduation or after. Contact us to discuss these options.
