Several factors affect interest rates and repayment schedules including the term of the financing, amount financed, availability of a responsible co-signer, and down payment provided. There are substantial penalties should the student default on the terms of the financing. Candidates should contact the school administration to discuss the latest figures and terms available, based on these factors.

SLM Financing: The Bodymechanics School works with SLM, a Sallie Mae Financial company for education loans to cover tuition as well as expenses incurred while in school.
