Let's get you on the path to repayment success!
Step 1: Register or sign into your account 🏛️
Be sure to use the same email you used when you applied for your funding!
Step 2: Report your income đź’¸
You have two options! You can either sync your bank once with Plaid, or use your Paystubs or Offer Letter to manually update every month to three months.
Step 3: Set up notifications ⏰
Under "My Account," select "Profile and Notifications." Sign up for "Receive email communications" and "Receive text communications." This allows us to contact you for important updates and info related to your account!
Step 4: Set up Auto Debit 🔑
This is key! To avoid having to make manual payments each month, enroll in Auto Debit by selecting your program and navigating to "Payments" > Auto Debit and following the on-screen instructions.
Step 5: Make a payment! 🎉
If you're not enrolled in Auto Debit, simply sign into your Payment Portal, and click “Make a payment” when you're ready to make your first payment. You can also make payments over the phone or through mail-in check.

How to Succeed
Always Report Your Income
With an ISA, you pay less when you earn less, and if you're earning more, you may pay off your account sooner! Keep your payments accurate by reporting your income.
(Plus, if you lose your job or your income drops, and we don't know—we won't be able to pause your payments!)
Stick to Your Payment Schedule
If you stick to your schedule, you'll be guaranteed paid in full at the end of your maximum repayment term—no matter the amount you've paid! That's the deal.
Enroll in AutoDebit
Save yourself the hassle of manual payments—and the stress of having to remember your monthly due date—by enrolling in AutoDebit now.
