Investing in your beauty education is a major step—and at Cureosity Academy, we’re committed to making it as accessible and transparent as possible. We offer clear tuition rates, flexible payment plans, and new student loan options through a trusted local banking partner.
Our tuition covers not just your coursework, but also essential tools for your success—including a Windows 2-in-1 laptop, supplies, scrubs, student insurance, and more. For a detailed breakdown of current tuition rates by program, please see our Programs page.
In-House Tuition Agreements
We offer in-house, low-interest financing for up to 18 months, covering the tuition portion of your investment. This plan is designed to keep your payments manageable, allowing you to focus on your education. If you experience academic or personal challenges, you may be eligible to defer up to 2 payments on an 18-month loan or three payments on a 24-month loan.
In-house financing requirements:
-
Applicants must have current employment or a responsible party (such as a parent or guardian) who will sign the enrollment contract alongside the student.
-
Valid photo identification
-
Proof of income or employment
Students and responsible parties must sign a contract that adheres to the terms of the tuition agreement. Parties who default on in-house financing forfeit the right to re-enter terms and must find alternative funding to complete or continue their contracted enrollment term. If a student is dropped from the program, the student will be charged the hourly rate per credit hour accrued while enrolled. Uncollected contracts subject to court and collection remedies to recoup funds for services rendered.
Making Smart Financial Decisions
We encourage all applicants to make wise financial choices and only borrow what is necessary to complete their program. Our admissions and financial team are here to answer your questions, explain your options, and help you select the best plan for your circumstances.
