Ascent is the leading provider of innovative financial products and student support services that enable more students to access education and achieve academic and economic success.
We strive to partner with quality schools because we believe they can deliver a valuable return on education to students. We start by asking schools (bootcamps) questions about their curriculum, student outcomes like graduation rates, employment rates and average salaries for graduates and keep in touch with schools and our students to see how they are performing.
Here are the most common bootcamp payment options:
*Not an available option through Ascent.
Loan Financing – A loan involves borrowing money upfront to cover your program costs, then paying it back over time plus accrued interest. It typically covers the program’s tuition and sometimes your cost of living as well.
Deferred Tuition – Deferred Tuition plans typically allow you to defer making payments until you’ve reached some milestone, such as graduating or separating from your program, obtaining a qualified offer of employment, etc. Ascent products that support Deferred Tuition programs are also loans that are required to be repaid, so keep in mind that interest does typically continue to accrue during deferment and any other periods of non-payment.
Payment Upfront – This option entails paying your full tuition amount upfront. Some schools may give a tuition discount for this payment option.*
Payment Plans* – This option allows you to break up your tuition amount into smaller monthly payments, typically over 12 months. There may be a service fee to choose this option.*
Income Share Agreements* – Also known as ISAs, this option allows you to postpone tuition payments until you have started a job paying over the minimum salary amount set by your school, often $40,000-$60,000. Once in repayment, you will pay a certain percentage of your salary until you hit the repayment cap, typically 1-2 times the initial tuition amount. The benefit of an ISA is that if your salary drops below the income threshold or if you are unemployed, your payments pause.*
Scholarships – Many bootcamps and organizations award scholarships to students that do not need to be paid back. Ascent’s scholarship giveaways may help cover the cost of your school-related expenses – including tuition, books, rent, groceries, parking and transportation, and more, as well as other monthly bills and purchases.
