Loans

Epicodus partners with loan providers Ascent and Climb to offer private loans to qualifying Epicodus students. Ascent offers interest-only repayment and deferred repayment plans, allowing students to wait until they finish the program to start making payments. Students who apply for a loan through Climb instantly find out whether they qualify once they complete the five-minute loan application process.

Income Share Agreement

Through Mia Share, students pay a deposit of $100 to secure their spot in the bootcamp and then wait to pay the rest of their tuition until after they have graduated and found a job making at least $33,000 per year. Students then pay 9.8% of their income for up to 48 months or until they reach the repayment cap of $18,560.

However, students should carefully compare the specific terms of Epicodus' income share agreement against other payment options, such as loans, as the total amount paid under the income share agreement may be higher.

Scholarships

Epicodus offers scholarships for people from underrepresented groups as well as gender-nonconforming and transgender individuals.
