All Bethany students who do not have adequate financial aid to cover their cost for a given semester* must designate how they will pay the balance. Bethany offers the following payment options. 

To designate a payment plan, or if you have any questions, please contact the accounting office at (785) 227-3380, ext. 8291.

Lump-Sum Payment

The Lump Sum Payment Option requires payment in full for the current semester before checking into the dorm or attending the first day of classes. A 1 percent interest charge will be added to any remaining balance monthly.  Payment is accepted under this option in the form of cash, check, or VISA, MASTERCARD or DISCOVER credit and debit cards.

10 Month Payment Plan

The 10 Month Payment Plan is designed to allow you to pay education expenses over a period of 10 months, interest free. A low enrollment fee of $55.00 is due upon enrollment in the plan. If you select the 10 Month Payment Plan, we can help estimate your yearly charges by taking the fall charges times two semesters, less financial-aid credits, and dividing that amount by 10. The first payment will be due July 20 and each month thereafter, with April 20 being your last payment for the school year. This payment plan is offered through TuitionPay Plan from SallieMae (also known as AMS).  To enroll, visit their Web site at www.tuitionpayenroll.com/bethany

9 Month Payment Plan

The 9 Month Payment Plan is designed to allow you to pay education expenses over a period of 9 months, interest free. A low enrollment fee of $55.00 is due upon enrollment in the plan. If you select the 9 Month Payment Plan, we will estimate your yearly charges by taking the fall charges times two semesters, less financial-aid credits and dividing that amount by 9. The first payment will be due August 20 and each month thereafter, with April 20 being your last payment for the school year. This payment plan is offered through TuitionPay Plan from SallieMae (also known as AMS). To enroll, visit their Web site at www.tuitionpayenroll.com/bethany

Bethany College reserves the right to not allow a student to move into the dorm and withdraw any student who has not selected one of the above payment options.

*Students who begin the academic year in the spring are eligible to enroll in a 4 Month Payment Plan. Please see the AMS Web site for details.

Bethany College offers other assistance for families to help with their child's education.

A loan origination and guarantee fee of up to 3% will be deducted from each disbursement. Repayment can extend over a 5-10 year period, with minimum monthly payments of approximately $50.

Alternative loans are another way of paying for your education. You can borrow up to the cost of education minus financial aid. The interest rate and fees are based on the borrower/s and/or co-borrower's credit rating. The interest rate is variable.
