* PAYPAL CREDIT – Financing

If you qualify it works like a credit card but for 6 months you have and NO interest, NO payment. But the goal is to give help with upfront cost, get through the class, pass state boards and pay back as soon as possible and then you wouldn’t lose any money on interest.If you don’t have a PayPal account go to PayPal and create an account and apply for the PayPal Credit first to see if you qualify (only takes a couple of minutes to see if you qualify). Then we can send you an invoice to pay via PayPal/PayPal Credit.
