FINANCES
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.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
We know academic success matters. Unlike traditional private
lenders, we offer support services like free tutoring and
education workshops.
You work several jobs, your grades suffer and you miss out on
college experiences.
We want you to have the time and tools you need to get good
grades. A Sixup™ loan allows you to focus on your classes and
free tutoring means you can get extra help whenever you need
it.
PERSONAL WELLNESS
We care about your general wellness and are here to help so
that you can succeed in college and beyond.
You try to balance school, campus life, family, and work but
you're struggling.
With Sixup™ you've got a personal support system. Our programs
are designed to help with the daily realities of student life.
CAREER
Good grades are important but we know great internships help
you land the best job after school.
You need a resume that will
attract the right attention.
Our team works with you on resumes and is there to discuss
internships and activities to make you a more attractive
candidate to potential employers.

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 may move into another pricing tier and reduce
your interest rate.
AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE
Have a question or need help? We have
support handy to answer your
questions.
*Your academic deferment period is during enrollment plus the first
six months after graduation or being enrolled less than half-time (up
to 60 months).
** For a $10,000 loan, assuming you make 54 payments of $20 a month
for an academic deferment period of 48 months of school plus 6 months,
you will then make 120 monthly payments of $176.35, paying a total of $22,242.00, assuming the highest possible starting rate of
9.933% (9.224% APR) (subject to change).

"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."
