Massage therapy school financial assistance is available for Crystal Mountain students through our work-study program. Students may work off a portion of the massage therapy school cost for their program by doing administrative or cleaning work, or can perform extra massages over and above the clinical internship requirement of the program. For each of these options, credit is applied to the student’s massage therapy school cost based on the number of hours worked or the number of extra massages performed.
Massage therapy school financial assistance may also be available through the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. We recommend you call or visit the government agencies in your area to see if this additional educational aid is available to you.
Crystal Mountain can also help you manage your massage therapy school costs by negotiating a monthly payment plan to fit your personal financing needs.
