PAYMENT OPTIONS

In addition to grants, scholarships, student, and parent loans there are several other financing options available.

  • Monthly Arrangement Payment Plan (MAPP)
  • Employer Deferred Payment (EDPay)
  • Third-Party Billing
  • Alternative Loans for students
MONTHLY ARRANGEMENT PAYMENT PLAN

Students may take advantage of this payment plan to pay out their expenses over the course of a semester. The university does not charge interest for the deferred portion of the payment plan, although it does charge a nominal participation fee each semester. Students can elect to enroll in this plan during registration.

To have the monthly payments automatically billed to a credit card, families or students should complete the Autobill Authorization Form and submit it to our office.

You can sign up for this option using EdWeb

EMPLOYER DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN
Students who receive employer reimbursement for classes at the end of a semester may elect to enroll in the Employer Deferred Payment Plan (EDPay). In this program, students pay a percentage of their tuition cost plus a small fee per class at the beginning of the semester. The remaining amount is due two weeks after the end of the semester.

Students must complete an enrollment packet to participate in this program. Additionally students must submit notification of intent to the Office of Student Financial Services before the start of a semester in which they plan to take advantage of this program.

The EDPay enrollment packet is available for download from our forms library in Adobe PDF format. The packet includes an EDPay information sheet, a sample employer letter, and a payment agreement contract.

THIRD-PARTY BILLING
At a student's request, St. Edward's will bill employers or other entities (such as ROTC or Texas Tomorrow Fund) which pay for all or part of a student's tuition cost (this does not include family members who pay tuition costs on behalf of a student). Third party billing is typically used by students who have an employer that pays St. Edward's directly for tuition. (Students with an employer that reimburses tuition charges should use the EDPay program.)

Students who take advantage of this plan must submit documentation of their third party's intent to pay before the start of each semester.

ALTERNATIVE LOANS FOR STUDENTS

St. Edward's maintains information on a number of alternative loan programs. Generally, these loans are deferrable while the student is enrolled in school at least part-time. Additionally, these loans do not require a student to complete a need analysis document (the Free Application for Federal Student Aid), although they do require the completion of a loan application/promissory note.

To apply for one of the following loans please go online or call the toll free number associated with the loan. Please DO NOT return any paper work associated with these loans to the Student Financial Services Office. If you need to turn in documents such as a signed application submit them DIRECTLY to the lender. We can not be held responsible for alternative loan documents turned in to our office!
