Cash

We strongly discourage you from carrying large amounts of cash to pay your bill. However, should you decide to make a cash payment, this can only be done in U.S. dollars in the Bursar’s Office in Boston. Please be certain to retain your receipt.

Third-Party Scholarships

We will be happy to apply advance credit to your account for a scholarship awarded from an outside agency. You must submit a letter to the BOSTON Bursar’s Office from the scholarship source, on their letterhead, stating that the scholarship will be mailed directly to Berklee. The letter must also include the amount of your scholarship, the date when payment will be submitted, a request for a statement (if required by the sponsor), and the name and phone number of a contact person. It is essential for the Bursar’s Office to receive this letter prior to your payment due date in order to avoid any delays.

Tuition Payment Plan

Berklee offers a monthly payment plan through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). This option allows you to divide your payment into five monthly installments. This service is available for only the first two payments due (September and January). There are no qualifications to use this service. You do not incur interest while paying off your fees, and there is no credit approval necessary. Berklee will give you advance credit for the total amount to be paid, provided you remain current with your monthly payments.

You should be aware that there is a one-time-only enrollment fee and that the payment plan payments begin on June 1st and ends October 1st, for the first payment due. For the second payment due, the plan begins November 1st and ends March 1st. if you sign up for this option after the start of the plan; you are responsible for making up the total of payments due.

Since this option may be combined with other forms of payment, you should be certain to budget the necessary amount with TMS to meet your needs. If you have under-budgeted, you will be expected to pay the difference directly to the College prior to the beginning of classes.

Berklee reserves the right to revoke this payment option to any student if delinquency becomes an issue.
