Financing Options

The Academy of Excellence understands that making a decision to go to school has to involve sound financial planning and a thorough process of investigating alternative resources that may be available. We encourage students to look at all options to ensure that they can assume the financial obligations before they commit to a vocational program.

The Academy of Excellence works with each potential student to choose the best payment option that will ensure that a student starts and most importantly successfully completes the training journey. Exploring personal, family and alternative sources ensures that you decrease the risk of encountering financial obstacles during your studies.

For your convenience we accept debit, visa, master card, cheques, bank drafts or cash. An official receipt of payment is always provided at the time of payment.

Possible options to research and consider:

StudentAidBC

StudentAidBC is a great option. They can help with the cost of post-secondary education through student loans, grants, and scholarships. They also have programs that help with loan repayment. Please visit www.studentaidbc.ca

Payment plans

All students are eligible for our in-house interest free payment plans. This allows you to break down your payments into manageable amounts for the length of your program. Extended payment plans may be available for those who qualify.

Banks

All national banks offer eligible students the opportunity to receive a student loan. This can be an excellent option for someone who cannot afford tuition fees and your bank will work with you to determine the appropriate loan and payment plans. You can go to www.studentaidbc.ca for more information on government backed student loans.
