Eckerd College understands that sometimes you need some help managing your tuition bill. That's why we offer the Eckerd College tuition payment plan administered by Sallie Mae®. Payment plans are convenient, manageable payment solutions that give you the option to pay tuition in interest-free monthly installments, rather than one lump sum. Tuition payment plans offer:

• More time to pay. Spread your tuition payments over a period of several months.
• Interest savings. Use a payment plan to make monthly payments, interest free. You can also use a plan in conjunction with traditional student loans and financial aid.
• Convenience. You can enroll in a plan, manage your account and make payments online, 24 hours a day.

Plan Terms: Tuition payment plans administered by Sallie Mae offer you the opportunity to pay your tuition, interest free, in ten (10) payments beginning July 1st.

Payment for fall semester is due August 1, 2011, and, payment for spring semester is due January 2, 2012; unless you enroll in the Sallie Mae Tuition Pay.
