Other Options to Cover Your Balance
Apply For Financial Aid – File the FAFSA
Students should apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Office of Student Financial Services will use your FAFSA to offer you grants, scholarships, and low-interest federal loans (if eligible). We also recommend seeking out additional scholarships from outside sources. For more information about outside scholarships, click here.
Monthly Tuition Payment Plan
Greensboro College has partnered with ECSI to offer a monthly tuition payment plan for our students. Our Tuition Payment Plan is a payment option that divides your remaining balance into manageable monthly payments. Monthly payments are due by the 10th day of every month. We offer payment plans for the following:
- Traditional and Adult Undergraduates
- Graduate Students
- The Piedmont Alternative Licensure (PAL) Program
- Visiting International Faculty (VIF) in the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program
Please Note: The monthly tuition payment plan CANNOT be used for books, parking permits, commuter meal plans, or prior term charges.
Traditional Undergraduate Payment Plans
If you are pursuing your first bachelor’s degree and are under the age of 23, you are considered a Traditional Undergraduate Student. There are 11, 10, and 9 month payment plans available throughout the year that divide your annual balance into equal monthly payments. These payment plans have a limited enrollment window and an initial $80 enrollment fee.
| Plan | Application Range | First Payment Due |
|---|---|---|
| 11 month | May 1st – May 31st | June 1st |
| 10 month | June 1st – June 30th | July 1st |
| 9 month | July 1st – July 31st | August 1st |

Federal Direct PLUS Loan for Parents
The Parent PLUS Loan is a federal loan offered to eligible parents of dependent students. If approved, the loan may be used to cover your remaining balance. If not approved, you may be offered additional Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan funds. Your parent will need to complete the loan application online at StudentAid.gov using their Parent FSA ID (the same username and password that was used to sign the FAFSA).
Private Student or Parent Loan
Private lenders and banks offer private educational loans to qualifying students and parents. In most cases, the student or parent will need a creditworthy co-signer to be approved for the loan. Terms and conditions are set by the bank or lending institution. Applications for private loans are available on the lender or bank’s website.
