Financial Aid is available to those who qualify!
You may be eligible for a grant over $5,900.
Additionally, because we are an institution that is approved to participate in federal student aid programs, our students receive a 1098T form which allows them to file for a federal tax credit for tuition billed. This amount can vary but may be up to $2,000! Click here for info on tax credits.
We offer an in-house INTEREST FREE payment plan for your tuition as well. This payment plan is paid while attending the program. For one $30 set up fee this is a great way to pay for all, or a portion, of your education. Ask us for details!
Our student clinic operates in a fashion that simulates a professional massage clinic. This is a far better opportunity than individual scholarships because all of our students benefit from our unique student clinic opportunity. Call or come in for a visit
