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.
FLSM Scholarship Program
Each program, FLSM awards three scholarships with the intention of assisting talented and creative individuals with pursuing an education in massage therapy. Recipients are selected based on expressed financial need as well as on their commitment and enthusiasm for enhancing their life and community through the practice of bodywork.
