Other Payment Plans Available:

0% Interest Financing May Be Available at your local Bank or Credit Union so please visit with their loan officers to get detailed information. We suggest starting with your own personal banking institution as they likely will have something to fit your needs as a current client of their institution. Because banking institutions do not partner with any schools for their private student loans, they require that you visit their loan officers in person to go over your options. All banking institutions have private student loan options available, so we highly recommend that you explore this option first.

Leading banks, including Chase and CITI, often offer credit cards with 0% interest that can be used to pay tuition fees as well.

VKMD is not a title IV school. Therefore, we cannot offer financial aid or accept student FASFA loans or Pell Grants.

We do NOT accept GI benefits or Veterans Assistance due to the burdens set forth by the Veteran’s Administration on small businesses.

*Please note that our school is not affiliated with any of these financing methods, and we do not receive compensation if you apply; these are purely recommendations for options to pay for your tuition.
