Net Price Calculator
At Finger Lakes School of Massage, it's important that you feel comfortable and well-informed. We respect our potential students and want you to have a
clear picture of what it will realistically cost to attend school and train for a rewarding new career.
The Net Price Calculator is designed to help you get a meaningful estimate of total, out-of-pocket costs, based on your particular financial
circumstances and anticipated aid.
How It Works
The calculator first factors cost of attendance including tuition and fees, room and board, books/supplies, transportation and personal expenses. Using
Financial Data you enter, the calculator then estimates the amount that you/your family would be expected to contribute to pay school expenses. Finally, the
calculator evaluates your eligibility for Financial Aid (need-based) by matching your financial and personal characteristics to the criteria used to
determine financial aid awards.
To complete the calculator you will need to answer some basic questions about you/your family's financial situation. It may be helpful to have recent tax
forms and pay stubs/income statements on hand before you begin.
The Calculator takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. You must have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Please Note: Results from this tool are only an estimate of financial aid eligibility. The
accuracy of estimated awards is based on information provided and on the assumption that the student will complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal
Student Aid). Future costs and financial aid estimates are subject to change. Final eligibility for federal and state financial aid is determined by the
U.S. Department of Education. Actual financial aid awards, if approved, may differ from this estimated figure.
FLSM Payment Plan
Students may elect to pay tuition in full prior to the program start date, or may
take advantage of our simple payment plan.
SLM encourages the use of co-borrowers because it increases the likelihood of approval and decreases potential interest rates.
