Sallie Mae Tuition Pay Plan 

Manhattan School of Music works with Sallie Mae to offer the Tuition Pay Plan, which breaks the cost of tuition for the entire academic year into either 10 or 9 monthly installments. Sallie Mae charges an annual enrollment fee of $55. Payments are payable to them on the first of each month from June 1 through March 1 (10 months) or July 1 through March 1(9 months).
