Ways to Pay Tuition
Every situation is unique, but we all benefit from education and opportunity. At Academy for Human-Centered Technology, our aim is for every student to participate stress-free. Here are a few options we've organized to help make that possible. To inquire about a payment option not listed here, please get in touch with a Career Advisor:
Out of Pocket
Have an employer-sponsored professional development budget to use? Or already working and want to invest some of your income to support a career move?
If you're ready to pay in full, this might be a great option for you! You can make direct payments on the course detail page via Stripe. We accept credit cards, debit cards, bank ACH payments, electronic wires. We do not accept checks or cash for this option. If you use this option, be sure to keep the receipt we send you for tax season writeoffs for money spent towards education and training (consult a tax advisor).
Financing
Opting to buy now, pay later? This can be great for those who need flexibility with payments, no questions asked.
You can use the Stripe option on the course detail page. For now, we accept Klarna, Zip, Afterpay and constantly evaluate other options to add to serve our students. If you use this option, you are still considered out of pocket can may benefit from keeping the receipts for tax season writeoffs as well (consult a tax advisor). Additionally, you could also seek out private loans from credit unions, banks, CDFIs or lines of credit as a means of financing.
Workforce Scholarships
Are you currently unemployed or underemployed (earning less than a living wage)? Or just need support making this career leap?
Thanks to our generous workforce partners and grants, we are able to offer scholarships to eligible students. Criteria for recipients will include the following: must be 18+ years old, must be a resident of the state offering the funding, must commit to meeting with your student support team monthly (i.e. workforce counselor, career advisor, instructor), and meet income requirements. Speak to an advisor about this option.
Worried About Your Plans Changing Later?
Life happens, plans change and while we encourage you to commit and see things through, we know things come up and that you're juggling other responsibilities. Even a change of heart which program you want to pursue could mean a different pricetag. If you have to change your plans for any reason before classes start we do have options. Our refund policy is straightforward — cancel up to 60 days before first day of classes, we will refund your tuition 100%. Cancel 30 days before first day of classes, we will refund your tuition minus an administration fee of 50% to cover costs of replacing you on the roster. Cancel 14 days (or less) prior to classes, and we cannot offer a refund.
