We are also approved for VA Education benefits for those who qualify. In addition, ASM provides in house financing wherein the student must pay a minimum of $500 before classes begin. The balance due can be financed for students to pay monthly for no more than six months. Interest will be charted at the rate of 10%. We also accept all major credit cards although there is a 3$ fee for all credit card charges.

I understand that the above incentives are gifts and are not owed to me.  I understand that I did not pay for the above-mentioned gifts with my tuition and if I do not meet the standards set above, I will not receive said gift.  I understand there are NO exceptions.  Attendance incentives will only be honored up to one year after your graduation date.  If you do not claim the incentives within one year of graduating, you will forfeit the gifts.

Books and Supplies

Books are issued to you for your use during the period of time you are enrolled in ASM.  In the event your books are damaged or defaced while in your possession (reasonable wear and tear expected); you will be charged replacement costs for the book(s).  If you wish to, you may purchase the textbooks at the school’s cost, otherwise they will be returned to the school by your final exam day.

The following is a list of required materials for your program and the approximate costs based on local Walmart prices.  To lower costs, students may use supplies that they already have as long as they are clean and fresh.  It is recommended that sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and towels reflect a massage aesthetic.
