Find the Right Payment Option for Your Goals
Education financing is not one-size-fits-all. We offer a variety of programs that work for different learning paths, student preferences, and financial needs.

Catalyst Program
Learn now, pay later. Currently available at select U.S. campuses, our Catalyst program lets students take a career-changing Immersive course at no upfront cost. Pay back your tuition in manageable monthly installments only once you’ve landed a job making $40,000 or more.

Employer Sponsorship
More than 45% of General Assembly’s part-time students receive tuition reimbursement from their employers. Employer sponsorship option is an effective way for organizations to invest in their talent — and their teams' future — through education in new, relevant skills.

Installment Payment Plan
For students who are unable to pay the full cost of tuition at one time, we offer installment plan options that spread payment out over the duration of a course.
Depending on the course format, various payment increments are available. Contact our team to learn more.

Loan Options

Social Impact Programs
We partner with nonprofits, governments, and companies to provide access to GA courses to adults with low income and underrepresented communities in tech. Regardless of previous barriers to education and employment, Social Impact programs aim to give everyone the opportunity to pursue meaningful careers they love.

“GA gave me an opportunity to change my life… I couldn’t afford going to college or attending GA on my own — the Opportunity Fund was the only way that I would be able to afford coming to GA.”
Dominic Prescod, Opportunity Fund recipient and Web Development Immersive graduate
