Payment Plan Options

General Parameters

1. The lowest downpayment is $99
2. The lowest monthly payment is $99
3. The longest term is 72 months (6 years)
4. The lower your downpayment and/or monthly payment, the longer the term - however the term cannot exceed 72 months so either the downpayment has to be higher than $99 or the monthly payment has to be higher than $99
5. There is a finance fee on the amount you are financing so the larger the downpayment, the lower the finance fee
6. There is interest on the unpaid balance so the sooner you pay off your loan, the less interest you will pay - just like any loan
7. The more you put down and the quicker you pay, the less money you will spend in the long run

Example of payment plan scenarios (assuming you qualify for the scholarship):

1. Pay in full before the first class (Most Popular, Least Expensive): $1020 (save $120.03 over most expensive plan)
2. Downpayment of $99 and 9 monthly payments of $115.67 [Total cost: $1140.03] (Most Expensive Plan)
