Built for how the school year pays

A small loan for the gap a paycheck doesn't cover — with income and credit rules that fit school staff.

Ten-month pay schedules are fine

Summer gaps and stipend income don't count against you.

Less-than-perfect credit is OK

A thin file or a rough patch on your report doesn't automatically rule you out.

No origination fee

You get the full amount you're approved for, and there's no penalty for paying early.

Fixed payments, real payoff date

Equal monthly payments and a date the balance hits zero. No rollovers, no balloon payment.

Earned in the classroom

$1,500 got my car fixed the week before school started. The money was in my account the next morning.

Alicia R.

4th grade teacher

Summer is always tight. Checking my options didn't touch my credit, and I was approved for $1,000.

Marcus H.

HS science teacher

I needed $800 to cover a dental bill before the plan year reset. Fixed payments, no surprises.
