Bellus Academy Expands Student Financing Options With Climb and Collaging Marketplace

September 21, 2026

It’s Now Easier Than Ever to Start Your Beauty Career Training!

Starting your journey toward a career in beauty and wellness is exciting! But figuring out how to pay for your education can feel like a challenge. At Bellus Academy, it’s our mission to support our students as they pursue their dream of a professional beauty career. That’s why Bellus Academy is expanding its student financing options through new relationships with Climb and Colleging Marketplace, giving eligible students additional ways to address tuition balances and potentially begin their beauty education sooner.

Helping Bellus Academy Students Bridge the Tuition Gap

As a leader in beauty and wellness education, Bellus Academy is committed to helping students pursue their professional goals. Bellus Academy’s Financial Aid Office provides every student with information and assistance with federal financial aid, grants, federal student loans, private loans and other funding resources. These new financing resources are designed to provide more options for students who may have a gap between their available financial aid and the cost of their education. Students may use a combination of resources to finance their education, depending on eligibility. 

Adding Climb and Colleging Marketplace student financing options creates additional pathways for eligible students who need help covering a remaining tuition balance. For some students, that funding gap can make the difference between beginning their education as planned and having to postpone their start date. By providing more financing choices, Bellus Academy aims to reduce that barrier and help qualified students move forward with their education.

Climb Student Financing – A New Financing Platform

Students at Bellus Academy now have access to Climb, an education financing platform designed to expand access to career-focused education. Students at participating schools can apply for financing options through Climb Credit. 

If you’re concerned about your credit history, Climb’s approach may be particularly helpful. Financing is subject to qualification, but Climb’s underwriting approach considers factors beyond a traditional credit score. Even if you have no credit or poor credit, you can still apply to determine what options may be available to you. Applying through Climb uses a soft credit check when applicable, so it won’t affect your credit score.*

Colleging Marketplace – Credit Union Student Loans

Bellus Academy students will now also have access to Colleging Marketplace, a RevlTek solution, which connects students with private education loan options from participating credit unions. Rather than providing a single lending option, the marketplace helps students explore potential loan choices from credit union partners. Available products can include fixed- and variable-rate options, and actual rates and terms depend on the lender and the applicant’s qualifications.

Colleging Marketplace also highlights features available through participating lenders such as no-cosigner options, potential automatic-payment rate reductions and options for covering past-due balances. Colleging marketplace gives you an opportunity to evaluate different private student loan options, which can help you identify financing that fits your individual circumstances.

Making Beauty School More Accessible

For Bellus Academy, expanding student financing isn’t simply about adding lenders. It’s about addressing one of the practical challenges that can prevent aspiring beauty professionals from pursuing their education. Bellus Academy is proud to be at the forefront of beauty education by introducing these additional funding opportunities for its students. With Climb and Colleging Marketplace, eligible students may have new ways to cover tuition balances that remain after other applicable financial aid and funding resources have been considered. That can mean fewer financial obstacles standing between students and the first day of their beauty education.

* To check the rates and terms you qualify for and your eligibility, Climb conducts a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. Once a loan is accepted and funded, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit.

Financial aid and financing are available to those who qualify. Loan availability, approval, rates and terms vary by lender and applicant.
