For educators, EdAid provides the legal, regulatory, and customer support to make deferred payments easy, from the time of origination until tuition has been fully paid. EdAid’s business model is based on the schools paying a subscription fee.

Workers and job-seekers are turning to virtual workforce training programs to build the in-demand digital skills that translate to career opportunity and economic mobility. Deferred tuition is a bold investment in students at a time when upskilling is critically important to both individual and global economic recovery.

Through deferred payments, EdAid is making higher education more accessible to underrepresented students. Two-thirds of the students it helps to fund are first-generation college students or immigrants. EdAid focuses predominantly on courses in STEM, Law and Finance that lead to vocationally led outcomes for students who would otherwise not normally be able to afford to attend these universities.
