Ways to Pay for Massage School

Pay in Full

Students who meet the school’s published deadline and payment-method requirements may receive a $300 tuition discount and waiver of the $180 technology fee.

In-House Payment Plans

We offer in-house payment-plan options. Exact APR, finance charge, monthly payment, payment schedule, and total payments should be reviewed in the current financing disclosure and retail installment agreement before enrollment.

Fortify Education

Qualified applicants may apply separately for financing through Fortify Education, an independent third-party lender. Fortify determines applicant eligibility and final financing terms.

Pay-in-Full Savings

$300 tuition discount when the school’s current prepayment deadline and payment-method requirements are met.
The $180 technology fee is waived for qualifying students who pay in full.
Current school materials state that the pay-in-full discount requires payment by cash or check.

In-House Payment Plans

NC Massage School offers payment-plan options directly to students. Because published payment figures and APR information should exactly match the current enrollment agreement and financing disclosure, prospective students should review the most current written terms provided by the school before selecting a plan.

Before Accepting an In-House Plan

Review the written disclosure for:

  • Amount financed
  • Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
  • Finance charge
  • Number of payments
  • Monthly payment amount
  • Total of payments
  • First-payment date
  • Any late-payment or other applicable terms

Third-Party Financing Through Fortify Education

Fortify Education is an independent third-party lender. It is not NC Massage School.

Students interested in longer-term financing may apply directly with Fortify Education. Approval is not guaranteed, and financing terms depend on the applicant and Fortify’s underwriting requirements.

Important Fortify Disclosure

APR and repayment terms are determined and disclosed by Fortify based on applicant qualifications. Students should review the final financing agreement before accepting an offer.

Apply Through Fortify

Applications are submitted directly to Fortify Education.
