Although Camden Military Academy is the most affordable military boarding school in the nation, there are loan programs that make tuition payments more affordable. These loan programs provide up-front funds to the Academy but let families spread the payments over a longer period of time than our tuition payment plans allow. If you are interested in any of the providers listed here, please contact them directly for current fees, rates and other details. Most, if not all, are credit-based loans and may have different standards of creditworthiness.
