2. TFC Financing Option
Considerations:
1 - When an applicant selects a TFC financing option, a $650 deposit is required up front.
2 - In addition, 80% of the tuition must be paid off before a transcript for completing the program can be issued.
For example, if a financing option period is set up for 18 months and the student completes the program in less than 1 year, the calculation will be based on the remaining principal to determine the 80% amount. At that point, the student may elect to pay the difference by either: (1) principal payment to TFC with either check or credit card or (2) additional credit card payment to TFC, or (3) waiting until their monthly payments have reached the required 80%.
3. - All documents, including the signed promissory note, must be received by ICDS before you can start class.
How to apply:
1 - Download and complete an application. Adobe Reader Required (Free).
2 - Return it with the $650 check OR call ICDS with a credit card number.
3 - Select one of two repayment options:
| Length | Interest |
| 12 Months | 8% |
| 18 Months | 10% |
4 - Upon receipt of the application and $650, ICDS will prepare the final documents and mail those for the applicant’s signature.
5 - Applicant may elect to automatically draft their bank account or credit card for future payments.
3. ICDS Payment Plan
In lieu of applying for a tfc finanicing option, students can divide their course costs into eight or less payments.
