Tuition Fee Payments
The total fee has to be paid in its entirety before the beginning of the program with the following exceptions: Degree and long-term students may sign a deferment payment plan 'DPP' (tuition fee in installments), see details below.
Degree Students who take U.S. federal financial aid loans will be granted an extension until the funds have been received by the TAU Int'l New York office and applied to the Student’s account. Such funds will be disbursed in two payments: fall and winter, as per U.S. federal law.

- Federal loans (US and Canada).
- Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) – An equal, interest-free payment plan is available for semester and yearlong students only. Deferred payments may be made by credit card or checks, and there is a one-time $150 DPP enrollment fee.
