How Skills Fund Works
Our goal is simple: offer the best financing options for the best bootcamps and their students. We provide honest, simple loans for tuition (and in many cases living expenses) at schools we believe in.
You deserve a valuable education, and we think financing it should be easy. Here’s how:
First, We Find Great Schools
Skills Fund evaluates school quality and we only partner with schools that meet our high standards. Bottom line, we partner with schools worth your time and money to help you transform your career.
Choose Your School & Preview Loan Options
To start your career transformation journey, choose a Skills Fund partner school. Once you've found the right school for you, choose from our flexible loan options to fund your tuition and living expenses.
Apply for Financing
Skills Fund offers loans for tuition and, at many schools, living expenses. As soon as you’re accepted to your school and you’re 90 days away or less from starting your program, you can apply for your loan! Apply directly from your school's Skills Fund partnership website.
Receive a Decision & Finalize Your Loan
If your loan application is approved, you'll know instantly! Next, we’ll work with your school to confirm your enrollment and certify your loan, and you'll sign your final loan documents. If your loan application is not approved, you may have the opportunity to add a cosigner to strengthen your application.
We Send Your Funds
Once you sign your final loan documents, you're all set! We update your school so they know to expect your payment from us. We send your funds on the second Wednesday after your program starts. Tuition goes directly to your school, and any living expenses are sent directly to you via direct deposit.
Repay Your Loan
You have several repayment options, including automated payments so you can focus on your new career! After you apply for a loan, we’ll help you set up your repayment account.
