Tuition Assistance
At this time, we do not offer Title IV, federally-funded aid. But we do offer competitive and customizable student loans through our financing partner, Meritize. This program can include loan payment deferral while in school and up to 3 months post-graduation.
We also offer a $3,000 discount off the cost of the program if tuition is paid in-full before the start of the program.
