The total cost for the Series is $15,000-$18,000 depending upon the modules and services you choose. Payment allows for pay-as-you-progress through the Series. Passport Holders may sign up for all services using a credit or debit card on iPrepMD or apply for a loan up to $15,000 at https://apply.meritize.com (U.S. customers only).
