Fund Your SANS.edu Program in Monthly Installments with No Interest
For students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents—and don’t use employer education benefits or veterans’ education benefits to fund their SANS.edu graduate program—we offer a Tuition Payment Program (TPP) that enables eligible students to spread out the cost of their program in monthly installments with no interest.
Monthly Installment Rate
- Master’s Degree: $850 USD/month for up to 5 years
- Graduate Certificates: $850 USD/month for up to 3 years
- Bachelor's Degree: $850 USD/month for up to 4 years
- Undergraduate Certificate in Applied Cybersecurity: $650 USD/month for up to 2.5 years
Note that the undergraduate Cybersecurity Fundamentals Certificate program is not eligible for the Tuition Payment plan.

How the SANS.edu Tuition Payment Program Works
Step 1. Apply for a SANS.edu Program
Applications are accepted monthly for certificate programs and the bachelor's degree program, and quarterly for the master’s degree program. The Cybersecurity Fundamentals Certificate program is not eligible for the TPP.
Step 2. Submit Required Tuition Payment Program Paperwork
If you are admitted and want to be considered for the TPP, we’ll ask you to provide a credit report and other financial documentation with your application for the Tuition Payment Program.
Step 3. Approval and Payments
If approved, you’ll pay $850/month (or $650/month for the undergraduate Applied Cybersecurity Certificate program) until you’ve finished paying for your program. We’ll set up automatic withdrawals from a U.S. bank account of yours each month until your TPP balance is paid off, which could be after you finish the program. You are only responsible for tuition for courses you register for and begin.
