WHY A SKILLS FUND LOAN?

We’re not your typical student loan. We’re on your side. You deserve flexibility. Financing shouldn’t be a barrier between you and your education. We’ve made it easier with low monthly payments and 3- and 5- year terms. Designed with your financing future in mind. Credit health is important. Making on-time payments on a loan will raise your score and allow for you to get better financing in the future when you buy a house or car. If you’re moving forward with Skills Fund financing, here’s how to do it
