Payments and Payment Plans

Payment Plans

When a student’s financial awards leave a remaining balance, The New York Conservatory can set up payment plans to spread the balance across several months. If you have been accepted to the school, view your Billing Statement in your Student Portal to see your current awards and balances.

Standard Payment Plans

If you have a college savings but can’t pay your balance in one chunk, our standard payment plan offers the opportunity to make payments that clear your tuition balance prior to enrollment for each semester. Log in to your Student Portal. On the top left hamburger menu, select My Info > Billing Statement. No need to select a date range, just click Submit.

Extended Payment Plans

We offer extended payment plans for those who need a little more time to pay for school. Please be advised, there is a $150 administrative fee for using an extended payment plan.

If you have any questions on making payments, or requesting an Extended Payment Plan, reach out to our Bursar to discuss what options are available.
