Financial Options for Dallas_

Investment Options_

We know tuition payment is top of mind for students coming into Codeup. When you’re accepted into a program, you’ll have the opportunity to work with our Financial Aid & Enrollment Manager to explore every option available to you. Over the past year, 88% of our students received some form of financial aid. As you’re working towards acceptance, you can start learning more about our financial aid options below.

Loans_

An investment in your education is an investment in your future – We’ve partnered up with select institutions to offer flexible financing options.

Students may also finance their tuition through outside lenders, such as credit unions or personal bank loans.

SkillsFund

Use Skills Fund’s calculator to see your payments before your apply
Current income and employment history do not affect your credit decision
Interest rates are fixed, regardless of your credit score
No pre-payment penalties

Skills Fund only works with bootcamps that have passed its rigorous quality review process aimed at ensuring great outcomes for students. Their rates are lower than other lenders because the bootcamp assumes part of the loan “risk,” thus vouching for a student’s future earning potential. Benefits of Skills Fund loans include:

Pay only interest while in-program and for 2 months after (note that we will be changing this to 3 months very soon!)

Every approved student gets the same low fixed rate, regardless of credit score
No pre-payment penalties

Meritize

Meritize recognizes you are more than your credit score. Your past achievements is something they utilize in addition to your credit score to identify your eligibility. To honor this, Meritize looks beyond FICO and uses your previous academic, military, or work accomplishments to enhance your credit evaluation.
