Paying for Your Education

SLM Loans

Financial Assistance is now available through SLM Financial. Submit an on-line loan application and receive a decision in as little as 30 seconds!

Great rates!
Rates and approvals are based on credit if credit is a problem. Apply with a strong co-borrower and you may be rewarded with one of our premier rates, which can be as low as 5%.

Great repayment terms!
Borrower chooses loan term up to 15 years, giving flexibility in monthly payment options. Never a pre-payment penalty if you choose to pay it off early. Repayment can be up to 15 years with a minimum of $30 monthly payments.

Co-borrower release option!
Make your first 24 payments on time and you may apply to have the co-borrower released from the loan completely.

Save on interest!
SLM will disburse your tuition directly to the school in increments, which means you save. Interest does not accrue on money we have not disbursed.

Workforce Investment Act

The Workforce Investment Act supports individuals needing to increase their financial stability and independence. The One-Stop Centers are the access point for these resources. Resources might include job search support, career planning, child care support, or sometimes payment of fees for training. See the California Local One-Stop Career Centers List to find the center nearest you. Or, for anywhere in the US, enter your zip code at ServiceLocator.org to find the Center nearest you. If the training program you are interested in has applied and been accepted to the local Eligible Training Provider List, WIA might pay the fees for qualifying individuals.

Note that most Boston Reed classes are co-sponsored by a local adult school or community college. Typically, the program you are interested in may appear on the Eligible Training Provider List under the name of your local adult school or college. We are working with all school partners to apply to the ETPL, but yours may not have applied yet. You may contact your One-Stop, your school or Boston Reed to find out if the program you are interested is on the ETPL.
