Funding My Education?

ABSOLUTELY! 

Many students have evening jobs while they are in school! The end of the school day is at 4:30pm leaving the evening and weekends with ample time to study, earn a paycheck and prepare for your future! There are no weekend class responsibilities at EMA to interfere with employment!

EMA currently does not offer federal financial aid options as we are in the process of accreditation. We encourage you to schedule a meeting with Admissions to review your needs. Also ask about our EMA Financial Scholarship opportunities during your Admissions tour! 

When comparing the average salary of each state, it is important to consider the average salary and the comparison of the cost of living for each state to make sure you are getting an accurate picture of costs vs income. Here is a  list of massage therapist salaries by our bordering states:

This job growth outlook is much faster than the national average for all occupations (at 5%).
