Stride was built for students, by students, and our mission is simple: to help learners of all backgrounds fund their education. Our outcomes-driven financing options never require a co-signer or a minimum credit score and are structured on flexible, income-based repayment. Because we’re focused on where you’re going, not where you came from.
When we invest in a student, we invest in their success—which means we’ll be there every step of the way from affordable funding to student and graduate career support and financial education. We work directly with students to provide outcomes-driven alternatives to traditional private installment loans, as well as with universities and bootcamps to design custom financing programs that open doors.
Currently, we offer students a flexible form of education financing called an Income Share Agreement (ISA). A Stride ISA is an alternative to a traditional private installment loan, and it’s a great way to get funding for school now, and pay it back as a fixed percentage of your income after you graduate and secure a job earning at least $30,000 per year.
You never pay in months when you are unemployed or earning below the minimum income threshold, and you’ll never pay back more than 2 times the original funding amount. And so you can get out of debt and on with your life faster, you’ll stop paying after you’ve made 5 years of payments or reached the maximum repayment amount—whichever comes first.
