Tuition Payment Plan

Manhattan School of Music has partnered with Academic Management Services (AMS) to offer you a tuition payment plan that gives you the opportunity to spread your tuition payments over a ten-month period, starting June 1. You can use AMS for the full amount of your bill, or you can use AMS for the portion of the bill that remains after deducting your accepted scholarship and/or financial aid. With the AMS Monthly Payment Plan you can reduce the overall cost of your education by paying as much as you can interest-free, instead of borrowing additional funds. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid or the Bursar's Office for more information.
