ABOUT MENTORWORKS

MentorWorks Education Capital provides Income Share Agreement (ISA) programs, which enable college and non-traditional students to complete their education without incurring up-front tuition costs. ISAs are alternatives to traditional fixed payment installment loans with which approved students will have their tuition paid and, once employed, will make payments calculated to a fixed percentage of their income, for a set period of time, up to a maximum cap, without accruing interest.

Uniquely, MentorWorks also provides career development support, mentoring and access to employers through their online and asynchronous Talent Accelerator Platform (TAP).

 

MentorWorks is a U.S. Department of the Treasury certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that focuses on increasing affordable access to education. Community Development Financial Institution
