Important Financing Information

PES School of Nursing Education is committed to making nursing education accessible through financing options. Students are strongly encouraged to carefully review all financing terms and repayment obligations prior to entering into a financing agreement.

Financing is a legally binding contractual obligation.
  • Financing approval is subject to the requirements of the financing provider.
  • The $500 seat deposit is required to reserve a seat and is separate from financing obligations.
  • Students are responsible for making all scheduled payments according to the terms of their financing agreement.
  • Missed or late payments may result in additional fees, collection activity, and/or reporting to consumer credit reporting agencies.
  • Students should borrow only what they can reasonably afford to repay.

Students should understand that financing allows tuition to be paid over time, but it does not eliminate the obligation to pay for educational services received.

Important: Failure to make required payments may negatively affect a student's credit history, ability to obtain future financing, ability to secure housing, and other financial opportunities. Students should carefully review all financing documents before signing and should contact the financing provider directly with questions regarding repayment obligations.

Monthly payment estimates shown on this website are examples only and may vary based on final contract terms, financing approval, payment schedules, fees, and other factors.
