FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions about paying for an education.
Federal Loan vs Private Loan – Which One Should I Use?
Always exhaust your federal student aid before taking out a private loan. Private loans do not have the same protections that federal loans have such as loan forgiveness and payment deferment.
Can You Get Federal Aid for Graduate School?
Graduate students have access to federal aid in the form of Grad PLUS loans and Fellowships. TEACH grants are available for graduate students who want to become teachers in subjects such as STEM. Fullbright grants are available for graduate students studying abroad.
What is an ISA Program?
An ISA program is an income share agreement. It’s a type of loan that you could pay back after you’ve secured employment and as long as you meet the minimum salary requirement. You agree to pay a percentage of your salary over a specified period of time. The most popular program offering this type of financing is a coding bootcamp.
