How paying for school should feel
Funding based on where you’re going, not where you came from.
How We're Different
Not your parents' student loan
We provide outcomes-based alternatives to help students fund their education. Here's what our financing options have in common:
For Students
Pay us back, when it pays off
Learn about our Income Share Loans, which help you finance your education without the worry of fixed payments.
For Universities
Open doors for students
Learn about our custom products — income share loans, deferred tuition agreements, and custom financing solutions which can help drive retention and student completion.
Alternative Education Partners
Fuel your bootcamp
We offer simple, end-to-end solutions that help you grow your applicant and enrollment pools. We open doors for students who may not have access to traditional financing options.
Why we built Stride
Now more than ever, students need options.
As students, we realized the need for flexible, affordable ways to de-risk the cost of education.
*There is no credit check required to receive a quote. If you choose to submit an application for funding, a hard credit pull will be performed at that time. There is no minimum FICO score, and your credit score or history isn't the main thing that decides your approval or denial, but your credit will be checked.
