Reimbursement or Voucher Payments
If your application is accepted, we will determine if you are eligible for either a reimbursement payment program or a voucher payment program. This decision is based on several factors, including the school you are attending and grades you earn. Reimbursement students will receive a repayment of tuition and fees paid up front by the student. Voucher students will have payments submitted directly to the school on their behalf.
