Massage Therapy Schools Financial Aid and Accreditation

Many people rely on financial aid to afford massage therapy school. Federal financial aid is available at some schools. Other schools offer payment plans, and many student seek bank loans to pay there way.
Schools that offer federal financial aid need to be accredited by one of several federally-sanctioned accrediting boards. Currently these boards include: ACCSCT, ACCET, ABHES and NACCAS.
