New Financing Option Available to Students at Journey Medical Training Center
Students enrolled in Journey Medical Training Center who need tuition or financial assistance will now have access to an innovative new financing option to pay for their courses, thanks to our partnership with the Meritize platform.
The new financing option will help students finance their careers as a Phlebotomist or Medical Assistant. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of phlebotomists is projected to grow 10 percent from 2021 to 2031, faster than the average for all occupations. About 21,500 openings for phlebotomists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 14 percent from 2022 to 2032, with about 114,600 openings expected to be available each year.
Unlike traditional lenders that rely solely on FICO scores, and other financial records to determine whether to lend to an individual, the Meritize platform considers the full depth of an individual’s academic or military achievements to enhance credit evaluation and potentially improve loan options.
Because the new financing option considers previous academic or military experiences, merit-based financing may provide a significant source of financial and credit assistance for students who are self-financing their Phlebotomy or Medical Assistant training.
Contact [email protected] for more information about this financing option.
