Types of Financial Aid

The Federal Pell Grant Program

The Federal Pell Grant is available to undergraduate students who have demonstrated financial need as determined by the FAFSA®. This includes funding that does not need to be paid back upon completion of the school program. It is the foundation of a student’s financial aid package.

Federal Direct Loans
Direct loans are federal student loans with a fixed lifetime interest rate. Loans are borrowed money and must be repaid. A student can borrow money in various ways in order to match the completion of the school program.

There are two main types of federal student loans available at the school:

Students under the age of 24 are sometimes considered dependent. Learn more about how the Federal Department of Education defines dependency status.

Federal Parent PLUS Loans
If a student’s parents need help paying for their child’s undergraduate school expenses, they may be eligible to receive a Federal Parent PLUS loan. This loan could be combined with other financial aid resources. Repayment begins immediately after the loan is fully disbursed. Applicants of the PLUS loan are subject to a credit check.

Other Financing Options

We provide other ways to help you meet your financing needs as you continue your esthetics education.

Lumion Tuition Program
Our school has partnered with a loan provider company called Lumion Tuition Program. It allows you to take out a personal loan based entirely upon your credit score or your co-signer’s credit score. This personal loan could cover your tuition for any of our programs or advanced classes. You could also set up a repayment plan that fits your lifestyle and financial situation.


Out-of-Pocket Payments
Pay 100 percent out-of-pocket during the first five months you are in school and then make monthly payments (due on the 15th of every month) with no interest or late fees. This offer is available to both full-time and part-time students. The amount of the payments can be discussed and finalized during your enrollment process.

Full Payment Discount
Pay your tuition amount in full and receive a discount of $524. Payment must be made in full two weeks prior to your start date. This financing option is only available to new students.

I studied esthetics here and had a great experience. The highlight of my experience was when I decided to do the additional paramedical course with Irina. She was thorough, informative, and refused to move on from subjects until we all fully understood what we were discussing. The paramedical course gave us an in depth background into paramedical esthetics, and also gave us additional certifications for dermaplaning, advanced chemical peels, and laser. I immediately was hired to work at a MediSpa upon graduating at Luz MediSpa in Somers NY, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything has turned out. Big thank you to Irina and all the ladies at New York School of Esthetics!

The NYSE is incredibly passionate about teaching and preparing their students for the state board test and to succeed in their future as estheticians. The paramedical program was the best decision I made. The program is taught by knowledgeable and experienced instructors which increased my confidence to perform in depth procedures. The instructors make sure you have reliable learning resources during and after the course.

I recently graduated from the NYSE, and I’m very satisfied with the education I received. The curriculum is well-structured, and the quality of teaching is excellent. I took both the general esthetics course, and the paramedical class, and both provided a solid foundation and valuable hands-on experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their students’ success. I felt well-supported throughout my time at the school, and I’m confident in the skills I’ve gained to begin my career in esthetics.

I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in pursuing a career in esthetics!
