All Cortiva Institute massage schools are proud to offer federal financial
aid programs to those who qualify. At Cortiva we have also developed a
variety of other student finance options.
We understand that the process of finding and applying for that aid can
be overwhelming. Our financial team can help you identify your options,
walk you through the forms, and guide you through the process.
Tuition Funding Sources
An education is one of the most important investments in your career! And a
Massage School education is an investment that can change your life. We
understand that you probably have questions and would appreciate the help in developing
a personalized financial plan for tuition. This is a brief description of some of
the more common sources of tuition funding that may be available for those who qualify.
A combination of sources can be used to help students develop a complete tuition
payment plan. Students will be awarded financial aid based on their individual eligibility.
The financial aid representative can help you with applications and questions.
