Tuition Incentives – Payment Plan Programs
Investing in your career and your future is one of the best uses of personal resources. With that said, a professional training program can be costly. Solar Energy International offers financial assistance for your certificate program through EITHER a tuition payment plan OR a tuition incentive.

Tuition Incentive
Receive tuition incentive pricing (see above) when paying for the entire certificate program in full on the day of registration for the entire certificate path. This incentive is not available for students who are transferring in a PV101-equivalent training from another institution towards their certificate program completion. If you have previously taken courses with SEI, please refer to the Alumni Loyalty Tuition Incentive section below. If you fail to complete your entire program of study within a year of the start date of your program you will be charged the full price difference for the course or courses you have completed or started.

Alumni Loyalty Tuition Incentive
You may have already taken courses from SEI that you would like to apply towards completion of one of the defined certificate paths. SEI will give you a $100 tuition incentive towards each of the courses you need to complete your program of study. You must commit to completing the full certificate program of study within one year. This incentive is reserved for past students who want to return to complete an entire certificate program. Alumni who only want to take SEI courses for continuing education or general education do not qualify for this incentive. You will need to complete the certificate program application in order to be accepted into the SEI Solar Professionals Certificate Program. *Please also carefully read ‘Transfer of Previous Training or Experience’ section below.

Tuition Payment Plan Details
You can choose to apply for a payment plan with SEI to cover the cost of your Certificate Program. If you are approved for a payment plan, you will be required to pay $500 at the time of registration. Monthly payments will begin on the first or fifteenth day of the first month after your first training course starts. Our Student Services team will work with you to determine payment amounts, method and withdrawal dates. You will have up to 6 months after the end date of your last course in your certificate path to pay your tuition in full. You do not qualify for the tuition incentive if you opt for the tuition payment plan.

Workforce, Grant, or Scholarship Funding towards Certificate Paths
Many of our current students pay for their full program tuition with different tuition assistance programs through their local workforce offices, grants, or other scholarship sources. This is a great way to get your professional training paid for and get you on your way to starting a new career. If you think you might qualify for workforce funding, you can go to SEI’s Alumni and Career Center and visit ‘Workforce Funding’ on the top left of the screen for more information. In the case of tuition payment through any of these funding sources, the total program cost will be assessed and charged. Due to the additional operational overhead and reporting requirements for these types of programs, SEI will not be able to apply the tuition incentive or payment plan.
