Flexible tuition plans to fit your needs
Investing in your future-self should be one of the highest returns one can earn. In addition, financing your tuition should not require a law degree to understand the terms. That is why we have partnered with Ascent, who helps Launch Academy students pay tuition and living expenses through straightforward loans.
Scholarships
We offer $500 diversity & military scholarships to level the playing field. Upon completion, you receive a $1,000 scholarship. Let’s ensure you get off to a great start before the program begins!
Upfront payment
Pay your $17,500 tuition in full in week 2 of the program. We want to ensure you have validated your love for coding and confirmed that we will serve as the optimal vehicle to get you there prior to making a life changing commitment.
Deferred Payment via Ascent
Straightforward loans and student-friendly payment options. Make no payments until three months after graduation. Budget manageable payments thereafter over 3-5 years. Obtain an up-to $6,000 cost of living stipend. Access Ascent’s tuition calculator here.
Unemployment Assistance via Massachusetts TOP
As an approved training provider, Mass residents on unemployment can extend benefits through the completion of the course via the Training Opportunity Program. This may be combined with scholarships and Ascent’s $6,000 cost of living stipend.
