Loan Options:

- Loans from friends or relatives are usually very flexible, have low or no interest rates, and are easy for some people to arrange. They, however, are not available to everyone. Check these out first!

- Banks or Credit Unions: provide loans at better rates than some places. Banks have personal loans available at rates based on your credit rating. They will provide you with a set payment plan. Having a cosigner with a good credit rating will increase your chances of getting a bank loan. Your best opportunities will be with a bank that you or a cosigner has a relationship with.

- Your local bank or Credit Union: Apply in person.

- Scholarships & Financial Aid: The Associated Massage & Bodywork Professionals have some links on this web site for you to research. Many options do not apply to all schools, so talk with us about this. http://www.massagetherapy.com/careers/rightprogram.php

CALL US FOR MORE DETAILS!! - It is always best to discuss this with us to get the clearest picture of the best way for us to help you!!

- Loan Options: We have several loan options for students that may work for you if the things listed here do not, please call us for information on these.

- Credit cards may have a higher interest rate, but are more flexible with minimum payments. They also often offer low interest rates for up to a year when you transfer your balance to a new card. They are also the easiest way to for some people to get a loan.

- Get Creative: We also know of people who have raised money for their education in a "futures" sort of way. They would sell massages in the future to clients, friends, family, etc. at a discounted rate (less than the going rate for professional massage therapy in their location) if purchased before the student completed school.

- Talk to Us !: Financing opportunities and payment plans change often. Call and ask us for the current information that we have. When we work together, we can find a way that works for you!

Remember, you can earn from $40 to $130 or more per massage in many places.
