WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK
FINANCIAL AID
To better serve our mission and value of inclusion, NECCA provides financial assistance and payment plans so that everyone has access to circus arts education. Check out the information on our plans below.
FINANCING YOUR CIRCUS EXPERIENCE
Payment Plans
NECCA offers payment plans that help spread costs to fit your budget. Our standard package is a 50% deposit with two 25% automatic withdrawals from a debit or credit card.
We understand that some programs or situations require different payment plan packages. Please fill out this short google form to request a payment plan. We’ll help you enroll and send you an invoice for the deposit. We’ll also confirm which card to automatically charge the remaining payments. If you are applying for ProTrack, please email Finance@necenterforcircusarts.org for more information.
