** Certain students may have high enough academic and other factors to be considered for potential loan approval but not high enough where they don't also need a positive credit report, and certain students may require a higher credit score than 600. Only one Consumer Reporting Agency is used to provide credit reports, so you may have a higher score or different information with one we don't use.

We support you on your journey by offering more than just money.

CAREER
We fund the gap between financial aid and the total cost of attendance so you can attend and graduate from your dream school.
Most private student loans require a cosigner with good credit — but that's not your reality.
Our loan is designed to support Pell Grant eligible students. We don't require a credit history for a Sixup™ loan but if you have one, it will be considered, and one may be required in certain cases.
MORE WAYS SIXUP LOOKS OUT FOR YOU
BUILD YOUR OWN CREDIT
You have two options for repayment during your academic deferment period.* Either defer repayments
until after that period or pay $20 each month, and you can move between them during that period.
Taking the $20 option and paying on time may help you establish a positive credit file.**
GOOD GRADE REWARDS
If your grades consistently improve while you are in school, your next loan with us can move into another pricing tier and reduce your interest rate.

STUDENT AND LOAN RESOURCES
"Sixup not only helped pay for school but also created a support group for me that I can lean on when I'm struggling academically or socially. Sixup truly set themselves apart from the many loan companies available by going above and beyond in ensuring my success in school."
University of Texas at San Antonio
"For me, the company itself is like a family. Because they don't take you just as a number. They also make sure to support you in every way possible. For example, they are giving free tutoring. Along with these resources, I have people, like Jessie and Lauren who met up with me to see how my semester was going."

"Taking a loan has allowed me to transfer from Lone Star College to Baylor University, a school that has shown me countless opportunities for the field of dentistry, which I plan to pursue. Sixup has allowed me to stay confident in my studies regardless of my financial difficulties."
