Paying for School

American Sentinel University’s in-house payment plan allows you to finance some or all of your tuition costs, which makes paying for your education convenient and affordable. We offer 0 percent financing with a down payment of $750 or more. Otherwise, payment plans are financed at a rate of 5 percent.

The in-house payment plans are financed over nine months and require the purchase of 12 undergraduate credit hours or nine graduate credit hours. The balance of the loan must be paid prior to the purchase of additional credit hours.

Students not fully utilizing federal student aid also have the option to take advantage of our in-house payment plan. Please contact your admissions advisor for details.
