How Deferred Tuition Works

EdAid works with education leaders to create a program tailored to your strategic goals.

Our Team partners with each education provider to determine the right model for your needs and build a custom interface for your students, hosted on our tech platform. We manage student onboarding, affordability checks, and tuition payments with a human-centered approach. We focus on driving robust outcomes for students in partnership with world-class education providers.

We offer two models of Deferred Tuition:

Income Based Payments

Payments are set as a percentage of gross income (for example, 10%) with zero interest. Payments pause without penalty if income falls below a minimum income threshold.

Flexible Payment Plans

Payments are spread over an extended period (for example, over 24 months) with zero interest. Increase access by lowering the barriers to entry and upfront costs for students.

Your educator may offer one, or both, models of Deferred Tuition. Please check your landing page for full details, or ask a member of our Student Success Team.
