Dallas Institute of Funeral Service is pleased to offer enrolled students a Tuition Installment Plan (TIP). The Tuition Installment Plan is a service to the student, allowing the student to finance education over the period of a quarter throughout their academic year. The TIP is interest free making budgeting the cost of your education easier. Late charges may be added to the student’s account if the student misses the deadline of payment dates. If payments are made as scheduled, there will be no additional costs to the student. The payment schedule calculates the balance remaining after guaranteed funding is applied; financial aid funds (such as loans, grants, scholarships, etc.) are recognized as payments toward the payment plan. Any balance remaining after all guaranteed funds have been paid MUST be set up on the installment plan. Only students in good standing and with a zero (0) balance for the current quarter are eligible to enroll in an installment plan. Students may prepay, without penalty, on their Tuition Installment Plan. Adjustments may be made for future payments.

The payment schedule is based on a division of the quarter's tuition into three installments. If a student will not be receiving any financial aid, the first installment will be due on the first day of classes for that quarter. Those students receiving financial aid (Pell Grant, Direct Loans, and/or FSEOG) or any other guaranteed payments (VA, scholarships, tuition reimbursement, etc.) will be required to pay the balance of direct charges minus all guaranteed funding of the academic year over the, up to, three terms per academic year.

Should a student not pay their first installment by the designated payment date, there will be a grace period of five (5) school days for that payment to be made. No books will be provided to the student until the payment is received by the college. If, after five (5) school days, the payment is not secured, a late fee of fifty dollars ($50) will be applied to the student’s account and no books provided until the payment is made.

If the second and third installments are not paid by the designated payment dates, a fifty dollar ($50) late fee will be applied to the student’s account for each of the late payments. ALL balances owed for a quarter must be paid before a student is allowed to progress into a subsequent quarter.
