DownloadNew Financing Option Available to Surgical Technology Students at SVSTI Students enrolled in SVSTI’s Surgical Technology Program who need tuition or financial assistance will now have access to an innovative new financing option to pay for their courses, thanks to our partnership with the Meritize platform.
The new financing option will help Surgical Technology Students finance their careers in the Surgical Technology Program.
Unlike traditional lenders that rely solely on FICO scores, and other financial records to determine whether to lend to an individual. the Meritize platform considers the full depth of an individual’s academic or military achievements to enhance credit evaluation and potentially improve loan options.
Because the new financing option considers previous academic or military experiences, merit-based financing may provide a significant source of financial and credit assistance for students who are self-financing their Surgical Technology Certificate or Degree Program(s).
Contact Nanette at nanette@svsti.com 408-883-9171 for more information about this financing option.
