  • Payment plans provide for manageable monthly installments of your out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Low interest parent loans, alternative loans, and private source loans are available.
  • The use of equity lines of credit and Federal Tax credits/deductions may yield additional sources of revenue that can be used to further reduce your cost.
